Fort Lewis, Wa. Oct 6, 1939

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

Ray says hello and sends all his love to you all.
