July 18, 1917
Dr. W. B. Bizzell,
College Station, Texas
D^ar Sir:
When you graduated us on the
setond day of May I don’t believe
you thought for a minute that we
would so soon be so far away from
College Station, but nevertheless
here we are—five of us: Wilson,
Walker, Galliford, Buchanan and
myself. We are more than pleased
with our situation, although I am
sure that I for one would be hap
pier if I were down around the
old college.
Give my regards to Mrs. Bizzell.
J. F. Blanton
