Please accept few lines in your
columns that may inform the friends
in Lawrence county where the Law
renee county boys are. We have been
in this camp about five weeks. All
like it pretty well and all are learning
fast,
1t is warm here and sandy and we
have sand storms sometimes which
makes us think OF snow storm in old
Kentucky.
We are drilled about eight hours
a day.
We get Wednesday afternoon, Sat
uriay afternoon and Sunday off, but
don't think we will get anything off
except Sunday after a while.
We Lawrence county boys are all
pretty close together yet We have
French officers with us part of the
time and you can bet they can tell us
something about the other side. don't
think we win stay here very long, but
can't say where we will go from here.
We have been issued our rifles, bay
onets, and shelter tents, and we will
only have about rs pounds to carry
when we 20 out for hike. We haven't
been out for hike yet. but will soon,
Hoping this will find everybody fine
and enjoying life.
We Lawrence county boys all seem
to be in good health and are anxious
to go after the kaiser and hoping how
soon we will win this war and return
to our native homes and feel more
free than we did when we left Louisa.
You Lawrence county boys should

Dear Eother:
Your letter just received and was
pleased to hear from you again.
Well. mother, guess this will be my
last letter to write you from here as
we are called to leave here within the
next 62 hours. thought would not
write you anything about leaving, but
changed my mind. There isn't any use
of putting it off you would know 1t
anyway when | wrote you. / don't
want you to worry about me. l will
be all right. l have read so many let
tiers in the papers about boys saying
they were going prepared to die. Well
am not, ! am going TO fight for our
rights, but If should happen to meet
with death over there, you will have
enough to take care of you. You can
say in the News that have left, so my
friends will know why haven't writ
ten them. l will write again as soon
as land. am taking chances on you
getting this letter.
With much love to you, as ever,
Your son,

over the Montpelier aerie at the capital
