Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM. UTAn - ! THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE PURKEI Dear Mom; 3 What I can't understand about the army is that know matter what I say is the matter with me the doc-tor gives me the same pill. At first I thought It was just a mistake but now I no dif-ferent becuz yes-terday when I complained of an ulserated tooth I got the same pill I been getting for headaches, cramps, soar throte and a sty. I wish you would send me some pills of any kind. It don't mat-ter what they are so long as they are different from the one I get here and I am inclosing one so you won't duplercate it I Jon't think the draft army takes sickness serious and in a way I can't blaim it becuz men have been show-ing up for sick call by the hundreds on account of there are so many beautiful nurses in the camp hospi-tal and it is the only way to get near them. All these guys get is an-other pill so I gess to get into a army hospital you have to have at lease a broken leg but I think they would first try a pill on me for that two. - We have had some nice warm days witch is a grate relief becuz ever since I was drafted I feel like I have been in the Klondike and I never knew it wuz so cold outdoors in winter befoar. But the ground is thawing out and so is the drill ser-geant and everybody is happier than at any time since our numbers came out in that glass bowL We see rob-ins most every day now and we have let the fire go out in the stoves which we get in the modern draft camp and some of us are even tak-ing our uniforms and shoes off when we go to bed. I hoap the war is over before next winter as I am strickly a warm weather fighter I am afraide. If there is ever a expedishunery foarce this war covers so mutch territory that it has all climates and I hope my division gets sent to Africa and not to no place where there is snow and ice. The more I think of the past winter here in camp the more I appresheiate what G. Washington went thru at Valley Foarge. We didn't cross no river in no open boat with a horse in the middle to inter-fe- ar with the rowing but that was about the only difference I gess but do not think I am squawking mom. We have lots of visiters now and I wish you would rnmo nn navt Cum. day. NeUie Arm-stea- d wuz up last Sunday and Kitty O'Neil wuz up Saturday and I had a close call as they both mite have come on the same day. The taienerna tor visitors is wonderful Just like those nickle-in-the-sl- ot places and while the food may not be no better than in the army it is fancier looking and the cooks more take panes with it. Eating don't me so mutch no more mom on account of I have been doing kitchen work so mutch I can't think of eats without thinking of washing dishes or pealing potatus. I got to peal potatus agin tomorrow witch I don't understand becuz their must be plenty of other soldiers who are as good at It as me but I keep getting Picked on and the mess sergeant says it is part of my vocashunal training. It is funny the garage ain't found f cus)mer for y JaUopy as it is good shape and had only been driven 200,000 miles and I told the man that I would knock $4 off my asking price of $45 on account of three tires don't hold air long and ' the right handed doar is off.
