Patch

Context

John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet. Sailors and Marines often bought things from the cities they made port in, regardless of wartime or peacetime.
