Description

Slavin requests an address change to match his stationery, with his battalion and regiment added, as well as his position as company commander. He says the novelty hasn't worn off his new position yet, and he thanks Lauren Post for his "most unique method" of using a newsletter to keep soldiers in touch with the home front.
