Dear Friend Mrs Philips:

Camp San Francisco, June 4, 1913.
Dear Friend Mrs. Philips:
Just received your most welcome
letter this afternoon and was more
pleased than surprised
Yes, am separated from the other
boys but one has to make the best out
OF the worst IN the army I get to
visit with the lads every day though
Hix is In the A5th Company along
with Dewey Garrett and Arthur
Hemphill but Daddy Wilson, Ed Grass
Clyde Reed and the Pratt boys are
in the 46th.
I have my rifle and have been drill
ling hard the last week. I went
through the gas mask drill already
and turned 1t in today. l think we
will be taken over to. Fort Baker on
the other side OF the bay for drill on
the large guns This Preside isn't
Just what the other camps are as far
as nicely Is concerned but it Is an
easy ride into Frisco, where I have
been but three times. There are a
great many interesting things 20 see
out here but I haven't had time yet
Our food is o. K. and we sleep on
good beds. We have a good place to
keep ourselves and AL belongings
Oh yes, 1900 left for New York
today. Leo Moore was IN the band
that accompanied them. 500 others
left on a transport at z AS for the
Philippine Islands. ! had a chance
to go there but I'd rather go TO
France.
Say Mrs. Philips I sure appreciate
what you and the Red Cross are do
ing for Us boys. We were all issued
a Red Cross sweater, helmet and
mufffer, they are just fine. It gets
real cold here at night and early
morning so you see we use them right
along. I would feel lost without
mine. 1t makes US feel better to
know that they were knitted by
some mother or sister you know.
You spoke about me being home
sick While I sure think of home
daily, also know that the boys
won't come back until this immense
job has been completed
haven't heard where my brother
James is yet, but expect news any
day now. There are a great many
sailor boys here too.
I tell you Mrs. Philips, you people
outside of the military life are max
ing the life of the soldier and sailor
more cheerful by your grand work
and 1 for one can't help but just stop
and think of how many hearts you
have made glad
I may transfer INTO band later
on but 1 want a few months of real
training first, then If 1 can't trans
fer it viii be all D. K. anyhow.
Am sorry to hear about that awful
storm but 1 guess that there are cer-
tain things that will happen that we
cannot help. 1 am glad to think that
you are getting plenty OF rain at last.
Well Mrs. Philips the lights go out
at nine O'Clock, so I guess I viii have
to bring your letter to a close / was
sure pleased to hear from you and

it The only difference in the ad-
