Letter from George Stout to William G. Constable, March 28, 1943.
By 1943, George Stout, then in his mid-40s, had enlisted in the U.S. Navy. From the U.S. Naval Air Station in Anacostia, D.C., he writes that he is pleased with the progress of their "nebulous scheme." "It would interest me greatly to work on it," he adds, "but I am put in a billet here that is distinctly my cup of tea, and so I have no real regret." |
