Dearest Folks:
| got up at S a. m. and one of
the most beautiful sunrises 1
have ever seen was lighting up
the whole place and made me feel
some better. have been sick for
a day or two, but feel better now.
l drilled this morning until 1890,
then marched down to the beach
for a swim. After the swim we
came back and word was passed
out that the mail was in. | got
your letter and just the last part
of it was for me. 1t was intended
for sister Mae. My, but l was
glad to get that letter and the pa
pers. The sergeant of seth
company just came in and told
me that l had to sing tonight
again. It is the captains request
that l sing "a Little Bit of
Heaven
l like the fellows in my tent
better than any in the company.
This morning we all three took
turns in reading some from the
bible. All three of the boys are
nearly the same size. Both of
them have invited me to go home
with them if we are transferred
to Virginia. One lives in Vir-
ginia and the other in Pennsyl-
vania. l have decided to follow
your and fathers advice and go
to church every chance l get.
Well, my face is all sunburned
and peeling and my lips also. You
should see me now. l have three
suits of underwear, two flannel
shirts, two suits Of pajamas, four
pairs socks, canteen mess kit,
belt, rifle, big wooden blanket
with my name on it and marked
U. S. M. c., one mattress cover,
sheet, pillow slip, two towels,
shaving soap, shoe polish. gun oil
and gun cleaner, tooth brush,
tooth powder, shaving mirror,
comb, and that's about all. We
get three pairs of trousers later
on, also we have hat and coat.
Well, mother, your offer of
cakes or candy certainly sounds
good. We can sure eat them here
and gladly. We may leave the
maneuver- grounds next week for
the rifle range. We had inspec-
ton Friday. 1t is very strict.
Every bunk must be made up just
SO. All water pals in line, also
tents exactly in line. And the
clam she'll borders of the tents all
kept up nicely. If / get to place
where there is a photographer,
will have some pictures taken
