Telegram from the members of headquarters detachment Camp Ellis to James T. Williams. They give sympathy "in this hour of sorrow" referring to the death of LeRoi Williams. They say that they stand ready to aid anyway they can and to contact Red Cross for more furlough. Written in pencil is the correct address in Roanoke, Virginia, that the telegram was for as well as what appears to be a return address. There is also a handwritten note.
