I am glad to hear that Bill Torello has been sent to Kansas as they have fine Camps there from what I hear we are living in tents again and I like it better in the tents than what I do in the barricks we have only five men in a tent and have a fine stove to keep us warm so that is fine.

I guess you will not get many more letters from me at this camp as we expect to go to some other camp soon that is what I want I want to travel around again and see some of the country that I have not seen yet while I have the chance.

I did not know that Carl was at work for the Spring Valley Water Co how does he like to work there have you heard yet.

There is no chance of me ever getting transfered to Camp Fremont or the Presidio as they have no aviation fields there in California that I know of yet I have seen a lot of California already so I want to see some of the Eastern States now.

I will write to Lydia juist as soon as I finish this letter I sent all of you folks a few post cards of Norfork this morning I also have a big folder here that I am going to send to Lydia in the morning as she wants me to send her a few from every camp that I am stationed at.

That would be fine if you would write to those Boys that you know here and tell them to come and see me sometime.

That is too bad that Bill Torello is in quarentine but I guess he will be out of it in a short time.

I will pay for my Insurance every month as it is easy for me to do it my Liberty Bond will soon be paid for now so that is not so bad at that.

Was over to a City by the name of Toul last week and liked it fine while I was there it reminded me a lot of the way Verdun looked.
