eral of my old boy friends who are
fellow-officers in the service, and
am indeed proud of each and every
one of them.

We are on Lake Erie. l know that
you have heard of the camp before,
as it is the old rifle range, where all
of the nationaI shoots are held This
Is at present one Of the largest
ranges In use by the government for
known distance rifle firing, and 1t Is
wonderful place, only short dist
ance from Toledo, Ohio. Our range
extends out to the beach on Lake
Erie, and we have wonderful place
for bathing. l came up here several
weeks ago for instruction in rifle
firing. and will possibly be here for
several weeks yet.
I am still with the Dixie Division
and 122d Infantry, though l am not
with my old company. Am now with
