Another rumor, this time more or less colored with official sanction. We are to leave here Tuesday or Wednesday. It looks quite possible. I didn’t want to tell you yet, but if I didn’t Mrs. Eldredge would, for Fred will tell her at once. If we do go, it will be on one of the three big boats; G.W., Mauretania or Leviathan, which is a consummation devoutly to be wished. On the other hand we might go to Camp Merritt first. But, as I said, it is all a rumor. It’s about time, that something happened to us. Suppressed excitement is the order of the day. I wonder what will happen to Eldridge.
