ALS signed “G. S. Patton, Jr.,” one page, 8.25 x 10.75, June 30, 1918. Letter to his father, in full: "We have just hade some driving over rising shell holes some over ten feet deep and thirty across. The tanks did fine and all the people looking on were duly impressed. It was funny to see them go clear out of sight and then reappear and go on. I wish all the men could drive as well as the ones we had in the platoon this morning we would certainly kill Germans. We are having lovely weather but it is I believe too dry for the corps at least they don't look very well according to my notion. I am invited out to lunch so must stop and clean up. Much love to you all. Your devoted son." In very good to fine condition, with an old tape repair to the reverse of a tear to the top of the intersecting folds.
