My former address was Fort Bragg, North Carolna. I was retired as of July 1 last after 32 years of Government service as follows: sixteen years civilian service, U. S. Army Sergeant and first Sergeant; six years civilian service, Internatl Revenue agent Island of Puerto Rico; ten years civilian service, general foreman of labor, Quartermaster Corps. I often think of our old Ozark Hills, and the old fishing and swimming holes. I often wonder about my old chums and school mates. I left the Hartley settlement a lad of sixteen, Sept. 1891, and have been back only once; but I'm coming back to attend some of those Hartley reunions my brother, Asa keeps writing about. I notice he always mentions the EATS and believe me Mr. Editor he's some eater/ Well I don't suppose [sic] all this interest [six] you much, so I'll stop. You might mention my new address in your valuable paper. Fraternally yours, Geo. W. Hartley"
