Fort Lewis, Wa.
Oct. 6. 1939
Dearest Mom,
I am writing you this letter to ask you a favor.
Will you go to Everett, or send somebody, I would rather you do it. Jerry would have to go along, or Frank. And get me a mandolin at Wards? They would probably have to send away for it. You could probably get one for $6.00. Get the cheapest one you can get. I would like to practice up on it. You could put it on my bill. It is only about $4.00 now isn't it? Have them send it to Fort Lewis from Portland. Would you do that please? I think the payments would be the same. In my spare time (and I have lots of it) I could practice on it with Ray on the guitar. I know you think that I just make more bills and bills but I do so want one mom. And be sure and include the pick. Would you do that as soon as possible? I would like to have it as soon as I could get it. Thanks mom.
Love
Rex
P.S. There isn't a thing doing as usual. We played for a wedding today.
Write soon,
Rex
