It’s interesting to go through different cities and see different people. I don’t know how many more cities we are going through before we detrain and go into camp again.
When we do go into camp we will not be able to write and tell where we are. And I doubt whether we will be permitted to write at all. If we are not allowed to write don’t worry and think we have gone on a long trip

across the water. I will write and let you know when we leave for there. Had to get off just now and take our morning exercise and I feel a lot better now. We get stiff as the dickens riding all day in the cars. The best part of the ride is that we havn’t had any hot weather, if we did we would suffocate in this train. Well it time for me to eat my breakfast. All we do is sit in our seat and they bring our meals right to us. Will drop a line to-morrow morning.
Love to everybody

But when we do go we will be very well protected
