Metcalf, disposed of “Betsy” and “Jack”, packed my belongings and left Ft. Sam Houston for Washington on the morning of May 19th. The

journey to Washington was without incident and we arrived there Monday, May 21st at 11:00 o’clock. Birmingham, Kean, and Williamson

met me at the station and took me to the club for lunch where I saw a great number of old friends. Birmingham had telegraphed me at

San Antonio that I was to come prepared for field sericce abroad, so with the information that I had previously had, I had a very good

idea as to where I was to go. I was greatly surprised to find at the club that everybody knew my assignment.
