Description: A shirtless, befuddled soldier attempts to thread a needle to repair his shirt. "I'm in the Army now!" Sent from Pvt. I.H. Pordy, Camp Swift, Texas, to Ruth Zonenshine, Brooklyn, New York. "Dear Ruth, I'm deeply sorry that I must answer by card. There is no place that I can find stationery in camp. As for a picture, I am sorry to say, I can't send one at present. I haven't any, but in my next camp I am taking some and will send you one. In the meanwhile how about one of yourself. Adios, Harold.".
