Hon W.W. Halfyard “Col Sect.”
Dear Sir
I want to know if you made any arrangement with the
Minister of Militia to see if there is any chance to get my son home
before next summer as it is the only support I got with a family of five
and I got a compliant that keeps me from work sometimes as I told you
before I lost my summer last year and if I don’t get my son home next summer
I will lost my summer this year and there will be something’s doing next
fall. There is lot of young men home here that got exemption and more that
did not respond to the “Country’s Call” and they had no reason for staying
home as my son, I need him very bad please show this to J.G. Stone and try
and get him home. By doing so you will
Oblige your friend
Reuben George
