Dear Clyde,
 
…hung around this dump all Saturday afternoon…There are men getting posted to Jessie every Friday to get there tickets and they tell me that they are getting used cotton while there. Some of them are getting clean sheets and others are not, They also get a suit of clothes which is worth about 57 ½ cents…
