Dear Walter and all: I suppose ,,'ou will be somewhat surprised 1 hear from me, but I have thougit of you and the good old days s much that 1 just couldnt help writing to you, whether you like it cr not. I would like 0 mention many things that happened when we were on our way over here, but you know we must be careful in what we say, lest we rray get censured. . Say Walt, how would you like to take a mean ride jast a little spin up in the skies and ehat a bit with old Jupiter or Man; then when you come down just give her the gun and tear off a few mean loops, and then look downfour or five thousand feet and bonder if you were ever going to peddle any more fruit. If , you should talk to any of the boys at home ,vvho are thinking of enlisting, try to persuade them to get into the ariation service; it is sure a wonderfui experience.

But believe me, if the opportunity zo rr As so that I can learn, to fiy' going to take it, though tt is a little dangerous: We are on the front now doing very good work. I would love to tell you of some of the happenings, but old man censor has something Mail coming to say about that. from the U. S. is not censored, so dont be backward in telling me of all the happenings at home. Excuse bad scribling, as t am in a swell orchard under a cherry tree doing this writing. Well, I have a chance to grab off a little (shuteye) before going to work so will close, hoping that this reaches you safely, and that you are all as well as I am.

I have enjoyed the drills and exercises very much and I am sure in the end Ill not be sorry, as it is wonderful work and training for a young man. It is also an experience you can not purchase. Just three weeks ago today we landed a Camp Lewis. We were transferred since, and were sure glad of the change. While Camp Lewis is a fine camp and more convenient, its much better here, and I feel much better. Camp Lewis covers about 78,000 acres and is sure a pretty place, but awfully damtf and you don't always get to see the sun, and it rains real often. It was a good thing we were supplied with raincoats, as they certainly came in handy. I dont know how to write or tell you of my appreciation in receiving the money and stamps. You cant imagine how glad I was to receive the present, and feel proud that the chouf. thought of me and my weak A help; I one will do to wish I me. I got the letter just the night before I left, so was sure lucky, and as you may know that a little extra change comes in very handy. We were off duty Sat. and Sunday, so went to Frisco. Its sure some place, and it is only about 30 miles from here. We sure enjoyed the trip and hope to go again soon. I would like to take a few joy rides with you again; but never mind, Ill wait awhile and spin around with you in yourPack-ar- d when 1 come home again. I feel fine and hope to continue to, as it is haif in being contended. I like to travel and have done some since leaving home. We have gone almost 2000 miles and it hasnt cost me a cent. Thats some class, isnt it. We boys sure appreciate the Y. M. C. As. and the K. of C. Halls, and their accommodations and hospitality. I see Roy Smith quite often. The other Hyrum doys are going over or have gone, but I got to see them any way before they left. When I get a gicture of myself I will send you one. Will be pleased to hear from you again, and will close thanking you and the choir once more for your kind consideration. Give my best regards to your folks. Hope to see you again soon.
