We move to our own mess hall tomorrow. I had a minor hospital stay but am fine now. We travel soon and may get passes to town. black troops ride separate in street cars here. It’s cold, we sleep under two blankets, and I hope you can send my things. The locals treat us well though there is prejudice toward negroes. Please send back numbers of my paper if you have them. Your son, Geo. Oliver Hudson.
