A letter from William J. Myers to Mary Rose Myers dated July 23, 1943. William writes that they arrived Wednesday night and they are staying in a hotel/hospital. He thinks it's a nice place, but he is cold at night. William expresses his doubts that he will make it "across" (presumably overseas) but gives her an A.P.O. address in San Francisco. William also mentions that he might send some stuff home but, not to get too concerned if nothing arrives. He also notes that he doesn't know when his pay will arrive but there is an allotment that will arrive in September. William signs the letter as "Tex." Written on Hotel Saw letterhead. There is also a note on the envelope in blue pen, "Last Letter Before overseas Departure."
