Excerpts from a letter from George A. Rogers to Dr. W.E. Simonds

Knox student and soldier George A. Rogers acknowledges receipt of a letter from Dr. Simonds and tells Dr. Simonds that "I hope that you now have college affairs wound up so that you are enjoying that rest you spoke of in the letter." He provides more detail about his trip, saying that "Many little things added together to make us a jolly good trip. Most especially might be mentioned the fact that we were leaving Texas and coming back to the United States. Ha! Ha!" He writes that "One fellow gave our barracks an artist grand piano and another is sending us a fine Victrola next week, so you can see that nobody here wants to go back to Texas," and closes his letter.
