World War I Collection

1200 San Antonio Ave., Alameda, Cal. Feb. 4, 1918

Dear Bogoo (spelling?)! --

Pardon me for not writing before but I have been on the sick list for 3 weeks. I saw your folks at the boathouse Sunday & your father gave me your address. The male population of college is getting smaller. I got a very nice letter from Wendall Hauch a short time ago. He is in northern Italy & seems to enjoy his work very much. Do you know George Meyer from Alameda. He is in the training camp at Linda Vista. He was a in my class at Cal.

You will will interested perhaps in knowing that I have left the great unknown & am [now - crossed out] to be after initiation Thursday a Sigma Nu. War produces great changes. Anything might happen. I am living in Berkeley, California for a while until I get O.K. again. So far I enjoy very much. I hope I get the part of college life that we lost before. That is the only reason I joined, so as to complete my college education.
