Abstract:
A former roommate, Doc, thrown in jail for drunkenness. Enjoying the bachelor's life and thinks he may "convert to the first principles of Shakerism and never get married." Listens to a band playing "Let me kiss him for his mother." Comments on a visit from Sam Welles, who spent the night in his room. "I rather think he was troubled with a night mare and taking me for a horse tried to ride - the consequence was - we both got kicked out of our virtuous couch." Written on Navy Department, Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting letterhead.
