Description
Wooldridge writes from United States Army Camp Butner in North Carolina to Creekmore through the Fleet Post Office in San Francisco, California. He recounts the previous six months of travel through Cape Cod, Massachusetts; Tennessee; Columbia, South Carolina; and North Carolina. He discusses the leave he took in January, during which he traveled from Raleigh to New York City. In New York, he saw "Carmen Jones" and John Van Druten's "The Voice of the Turtle." He ate at the Algonquin Hotel and stayed at the Prince George Hotel. Then Wooldridge traveled to Washington, D.C. before traveling home and staying with Eudora Welty and her family. Includes envelope.
