My dear Alberta,

Please don’t find fault with the writing because I’m stretched out on my cot writing and I’m awfully tired too. We arrived all safe and sound and have been given our beds, blankets, towels & soap. Joe and I are both in the same company, that is battery. I will tell you about the trip tomorrow. Our cots and equipment so far is swell and the officers are all nice to us. We are in a company of swell fellows and certainly enjoy it.

Hope your mother wasn’t angry at me for keeping you out so late but I sure did hate to leave.

Examinations and uniforms tomorrow I hear. Reveille at 6:00 a.m. Isn’t that nice and only 5 minutes to dress in. Well, I’ll have to stop here so goodbye.......
