Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "...for the colonel. Tell John I am much obliged to him for his kind offer to make me a couple of them boxes for I have had two given me by McFadden but somebody stole one of them. They are for keeping white lead in for whitening. The belts you have to wear on guard and drill you must keep them as white as snow and your brasses shine like gold. So no more at present. My love to all the family.

But Remain your son, George Riddell

Write soon. I had to write this on my knapsack so excuse the [illegible]"

From the George Riddell Collection (COLL/2009) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division
