Donald Allensworth to Dr. W.E. Simonds

Donald Allensworth writes Dr. Simonds a long and newsy letter about his time spent in military training in San Antonio, Texas. Allensworth notes, "There are many interesting and well sophisticated men here. So many of the rough, hard-boiled kind believe that to be a real army man, one has to be worse than the last, and they tell stories about themselves that one never would find out in private life. I suppose they expect respect or awe, I don't know which."
