"Dear Morry;/ Thanks a lot for the Eagles and for the good/ wishes about the stars which I hope will also come/ true./ If you plan to come to Clark you had better write/ the adjutant and ask him how many prospects there will/ be you see this is a pretty small place. I cant make/ inquiries for you as it would not look right./ With renewed thanks, I am/ Truly yours/ G S Patton [autograph]/ G. S. Patton Jr./ Col. 5th Cav."

Generals of the Army, Douglas MacArthur, and George C. Marshall, and Generals Jonathan M. Wainwright, George S. Patton Jr. and Leslie J. McNair were among his customers." (New York Times Obituary).
