Warren Boy Waking Good in Maryland
Leland Webster writes from Magnolia Maryland to his parents about his Army trucking duty in Newport News Virginia. He commanded a 60 truck US Army company and earned a lieutenant's pay while the Major treats him like a son planning for life after the war. He mentions $400 daily expenses and his authority to replace drivers or mechanics if needed. He notes good weather and asks about his father's garden. He signs off with love.
