Dear Folks:
            Got here about 1:30. Went over to the courthouse this morning and was told to report at the Union depot at 7:45 Sunday morning. The sargent I talked to said all on the list were going to San Antonio. He thought they were “throwing us a curve” in that first letter that said “Santa Ana.” We’ll see.

P.S. Stayed in Dixon Hotel last nite & checked out to go over to the courthouse. When I came back the Dixon was filled up so am over here. [Hotel Missouri] Some kind of convention here & all good hotels around here are full. This isn’t one of them.
