Born in Perkington, MS, on 1/30/1911, Ruse O. Sullivan had been a resident of Mobile, AL, for 77 years when he passed away on 9/15/1989 at the age of 78, according to his obituary in The Mobile Register, 9/16/1989. He served in the army from 8/7/42 - 12/3/43, at which time he was honorably discharged at Camp Lockett, California, by reason of Sec II AR 615-360, signifying a physical disability that rendered him unfit for military service, according to his enlistment record.

Right now I will tell you that I am getting along allright and hope to be released about Monday. I have been in the hospital for a week and for awhile I was pretty sick fellow. I was brought in for appendicitis but before they could get me ready to operate they found out it was something like intestinal flu. Believe me for four or five days I did some real suffering. In one way I was lucky though as I had a middle aged civilian nurse and she watched over me day and night like a hawk. For about five days (OVER) I didn’t have anything but a liquid diet so I am still pretty week[weak]. Yesterday afternoon I started sitting up and today the doctor told me I could start eating anything I wanted so long as I didn’t overeat. Today I feel good and I want to try to get out about Monday. I could have gotten someone else to write but then I knew you would be nearly crazy. Just imagine 32 years old and I had never been in a hospital before. At one time as I was so sick that I thought I would have to let them wire you but I prayed I would get better and it must have been answered. The chaplain here, an old fellow, stayed with me quite a bit and he still runs errands for me. The boys from camp kept coming to see me but last night was the first time that they could get in. UNITED STATES ARMY [Printed on the top-center of second page in red, under the symbol of U.S. national coat of arms] I haven’t had a shave in a week so this afternoon I am going to shave and clean up some. I am in a ward now with two more fellows and they are both from Tampa, Fla. so I have company. I hope this finds you feeling well and don’t worry about me as I am doing fine now. Coming up to the hospital was also the first time that I had ridden in an ambulance. I haven’t heard any more about my discharge but while I am in the hospital I am going to see if I can’t find out something. Mama, I will close now as I want to get this off so you will get it right away.

Text Any textual data included in the document Aug. 9 - 1943 Dear Mama – Just a few lines to let you know that I am feeling fine and I hope you are the same. I would have written sooner but I have been nearly sick with a head cold and I just came off guard duty. My cold is a lot better and I can’t imagine how I caught one in this climate. Well I guess I will get my teeth fixed now as I have an appointment with the dentist at 10:30 in the morning. I kind of half way think that I will get a furlough this month and if I do I will put my teeth off until I come back. If I leave before the first I will probably drive that car to Galveston, Texas and then take a train home from Houston. Mama, you shouldn’t do so much sewing and just stay down on the coast and take things easy. This place is so full of flies that I can hardly write for knocking them off. You asked me if I got Gene’s picture, yes I got it but he looks awfully thin to me unless it has just been so long since I have seen him. I wrote him a letter but I still don’t know whether he ever got it or not. This is the rainy season out here and according to the natives there is more rain than usual but it sure makes the nights nice for sleeping. I just spilled ink slapping at flies as you can see by this paper. I received a letter from you this afternoon and I hope Ola is feeling a lot better by this time. If I should happen to get in Mobile before the busses start running I will probably go by her house on my way home. If I have time tomorrow night I will try and write all my sisters a letter but I don’t guess I know Dees[Dee’s] address. Tell Vance that when I come home I want some shrimp as I haven’t seen any in nearly a year. We have fish about twice a month but I don’t especially care for them. Tell the boys that I want them to take me swimming and fishing also. I was glad to hear Rich got a new car and he shouldn’t have much trouble paying for it.

"When Nicholas Holmes - the seventh generation of his family to bear the name - died in 1957, his son Nicholas sought an appropriate way to pay homage to his father's memory. His decision was to purchase from the Library of Congress copies of more than 600 blueprints and drawings of historic buildings in Mobile compiled under the aegis of the Historical American Buildings Survey during the Depression. He donated the works to the Mobile Historic Preservation Society and selected the Mobile Public Library as the depository for these drawings and photographs so that interested persons might have free access to the documents..." -Mobile Press Register, October 9, 1977 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nicholas Hanson Holmes III Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Library of Congress Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Historic American Buildings Survey Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource These items may be used for educational and research purposes.
