Description

This return letter from Wasson details his contributions to the war effort, as requested by HJM, in order to testify against his being a slacker. He describes, in a charcoal pencil scrawl on a small slip of paper, all of the grain he has stockpiled and every dollar he has donated to the war effort. These total several hundred dollars.
