Dear Friend Edgar:
will write you a few lines and tell
you about my trip from Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo. to Camp Staurt, Va.
There were about $50 soldiers in a
troop train of 10 coaches. Each coach
departed from Jefferson Barracks on
Tuesday at 1880 p. m. Altogether we
rode S11a hours. Our train did not go
direct to destination, but took round
about roads in, order to- keep, off mail
lines SO, as not to- delay any of the reg
ular trains: Thus. we went Through
Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina and part Of North
Carolina into Virginia. 49,, r.. =. =.
1t was a grand sight to view the large
cotton fields and pine forests. We also
crossed the Alleghaney mountains with
three engines hitched to our train. 1t
was said that we covered distance Of
3,240 miles. We stopped at Memphis.
Tenn, Nashville, Tenn, Atlanta, Ga.
and Spartenburg, s. G.. These are very
large cities. 2-- : i. :, -.e.-. s.,
Large camps have been organized for
the drafted boys in many different
states. Camp Green is but couple of
months old and has also been organized
for drafted boys. We have total of
$4,000 boys in our camp. Ten Of the
Minneapolis boys, including myself,
have been assigned to the 18th Regiment,
which is one Of the oldest regiments in
existence. a--....azss.~ Ae
The weather down here has been
great for amphibious creatures the past
two days. They say it never rains in
Virginia, but the heavens sure have
been pulling the emotional stuff for the
past two days. It's SO darned wet
around here that the commandant is
seriously considering turning us into
naval service. Alive lack is the ships,
or guess we would sail off.
forgot to state that we have better
officers in our company than any com
pany. Our first lieutenant is preach
er and fine man, for he will not
allow gambling, swearing or cursing.
But they have a game here what they
call the African golf, which they play
ed down here recently. Ever heard of
African golf? It's a great gambling
game It was originated by the Greeks
but is associated chiefly by the negroes
The common name for it is dice, while
at times it is vulgarly known as
craps" But in the army it's African
1 golf. *.
They say we are to leave here soon
for France but don't know when.
