Letter home from Earle. The letter discussed a shooting that occurred, his work hours, eating schedules/breaks in the office, a pneumonia outbreak, and a break post statement on rain and the water supply.
Letter to his mother. The last half of his letter discussed ordinances that passed because of the hotel fire including the use of oil stoves, which he uses in his room to keep warm. Also, there is an interesting comment on how people do not question authorities when they told them to leave town.
