Dear Miss Cox,

I know you are still energetic so you would be in good health.  Well, I'm not.  I'm having [typhoid] shot and the heat is getting me.  We sure have to wait for dinner without no shade.  Maybe that's what gave me that awful stomach ache.  Anyway I'm getting tired and homesick.  My brother wrote a letter and is said he read a book called "How Green Was My Valley," which brought tears to his eyes.  I never read that book but still tears came to my eyes as I read that title because there is not one tree to give us shade in this A.C..  We can't expect more though.  When we left that valley, most every place was green. And now I would be bending my back picking young berries and strawberries.  There isn't much thing to do so I once in awhile reads the history book but I'm in no such mood to keep on reading for hours and hours.  One thing I enjoyed while coming here by train was the scene. Most of them was the beautiful scenery of creeks, rivers, and ponds.  All their colors meets the sky and graceful cranes flying around was one scene I'll never forget.  At the North of the camp is a bare field and a factory at the East side with fig on both South and West. But someday we shall meet, While wandering toward success. (unfinished)

Once your Pupil
