Dear Mother,
Just crossed the Colorado River. What a mess and what a mess the country is around here.
Some of the most desolate I have seen but not as bad as back aways. It is a little better because of the irrigation ditches. Here and there they are all muddy.
Also some new kind of date polim(?)
Two day lights have now passed us going that way.
Love,
Stanley
Between Nov. 1942 and Aug. 1945, Stanley W Safford wrote around 180 letters to his mother. These were found neatly preserved in the order they were received, in his old bedroom at his parents'. They were wrapped with a green ribbon. Stanley was one of the first Army medics. He spent 19 months at Fort Sam Houston, TX training other medics. His group was attached to the Ninth Army in the Summer of 1944. His letters give a front row seat to a medic's life during WWII.
