kept in good conditions, as I
am quite proud of it and
futhermore it reads "in the
volunteer army of the United
States of America," which shows
I wasn't drafted.

I wish I could get over
this cold I have as it makes me
feel mean as the dickens. I am
goin to answer sick call tomorrow
and tell them I want something that
will do me some good.

I haven't heard from Norma
since I arrived here as I told her
I would write first, but haven't
had time. I have a number of
letters I aught to write. If anybody
says anything about me not writing
you tell them how it is

Well Neewah I will call this
quits for the moment. How is mama
and papa and all the faimly?

Love to all
"Duke"
