Dear Ma,

Left Goat Hill day before
yesterday. We were suppose to stay
in detention camp three days
here, but a bunch came in from
the east coast to night so they
made us pack up our bags +
hammocks at eight oclock and
get out. They put us in the
barracks so now we will
have the priveledge of the
Y.M.C.A. that were I am writing
from to-night. We can't do
nothing with the affidavits
yet as they won't take them
till the fifteens of the month
There is nothing much to tell
about this place the only thing
that bothers us is the
cold weather and when we
will get out of here. We get
liberty Saturday over Sunday
