Dear Ma & Pa:

Received your letter written on the
9th of Sept and also the one the night
the bunch were at the house. It
certainly was good to hear from
everybody. I guess they were a tired
bunch after the party the night be-
fore. There are four of us fellows
that have parties of our own about
twice a week. The party consists of
pastry, chocolate, candy, and teaching
the girl waiting on us how to speak
English. We will have to find a
new place to hold our parties now
because we have moved about three
miles from our old camp.

I am on guard now and I have
plenty of time to write, but there
is so little to write about it keeps
me busy thinking up something to
write. There is some mail coming
