Description
Correspondence from Jess Dunson to Thelma T. Gorham in which Dunson hopes Gorham has made a recovery after several operations. He goes on to mention the "passing," or suspension, of The Apache Sentinel and how he will feel upon its absence, and inquires as to whether Gorham will continue to "endure" Fort Huachuca or return to her native domicile. Dunson then suggests that a publication should write a human interest story about Gorham and her efforts during the war, which he predicts will end in the near future.
