From a Soldier Son.
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas.
October rs, 1917.

| OttpucT 90, lJi 4.
Dear Mother:
! think it is about time | was telling
you a little about the conditions in
which we live down here.
| might start in with the camp as a
whole. 1t is great deal larger than
expected to find it. 1t is built to ac-
commodate about 10000 soldiers. Sta
toned here is about every branch of
service in the United States. There
are the Infantry, Cavalry. which is now
turned into Field Artillery. Artillery,
Quartermaster Corps, Signal Corps,
M. P's, Hospital Corps, Engineers, and
last, but probably the most interesting.
the Aviation Corps. Last week three
machines came in, but l don't know
how many more have arrived since
then. Our truck company is part of
the Quartermaster Corps. Everything
possible is done to make this an ideal
camp. Good roads are built, and the
grounds, buildings and streets are kept
in the cleanest and most sanitary con-
ditions known. The Y. Nj. C. A. fur
nishes many entertainments and place
to spend idle hours. Stationary and
place to write letters is also given by
the Y. M. C. A.
In regard to the Truck CO. No. 6
camp, will say that it is one of the best
camps down here, or will be when we
get Strengthened out We have been
supplied with floors and side walls about
three and one half feet high for our
tents. Each tent has small wood
stove in the center and electric lights.
As we have only seventy.s six men in
our company we have only ten tents
and much smaller mess hall than the
infantry companies. An infantry mess
hall is large enough to handle two
hundred and fifty men. Our mess hall
is about eighty feet long. Two long
tables with benches on both sides
occupy the inside hall proper. At the
end of one bench we have the Victrola
that was given to US by the Defense
Council of Marshield, Wisconsin. IL is
pretty swell to have music with your
meals, and pretty swell meals with the
music. One end of the hall is partitoned
off for kitchen. | might back up my
statement Of pretty swell meals with
the music" by giving you our meIu o.
today.
Breakfast: Bread, butter, coffee,
fried potatoes, and oatmeal with milk
and sugar.
Dinner: Bread, butter, coffee, pork
roast, sage dressing, brown gravy,
mashed potatoes. and Jello filled with
oranges, bananas and apples.
Supper: Iced tea, fried potatoes,
veal loaf, catsup, and pineapple sauce.
