13 th Co. C.M.G.O.T.S.,
Camp Hancock, Ga.
My dear Oscar:
Many thanks for your kind letter with was extremely interesting and which delighted me in the highest to know that you were well and hitting the line hard and consequently reaping results. The way you looked at my last letter, charmed me and increased my respect for you a thousand-fold. Neither you nor anyother red-blooded black man wants to take an unfair advantage over our comrades in this goround. We want all that we have to come from merit, gain, hard work and the mercies of a good God. It was because I loved you so and wanted to to retain your self-respect that I refused to write that letter. You have the stuff in you and don't stand in need of any recommendatory letters.
My very best love to all the Wilberforce and Xenia boys there with you. I enclose one of the itineraries you asked for. I have only promises and rumors so far. I suppose it is still up to me to be patient. By so doing and refusing to belly-ache and play the baby-act, we help to win the war.
Always your sincere friend,
