Ft.Winfield Scott, Cal., Juno 17,'17 Dear Folks: Received your most welcome letter and glad to hear that you were all well and happy. There are several boys in here and all talking and it is hard to think of anything to write. Harold is writ ing to Fryman's, and I will write to them later on. We have been working hard the last two or three days digging trenches, and the ground is as hard as a rock and we have to pick it all out, but I will go on guard tomor row, so will get out of it. I have had a cold ever since I have been here. We are right on the bay and up in the air quite a ways and the air is damp most of the time. I would like to have a good picture of you folks to look at once in a while. Have got quite a few pic tures from folks there and it is sure nice to have them to look at oc casionally. I thought once we were going to bo sent to France, but don't think so, for a while, because they are making different arrangements now. The'captain told us to get up a com pany ball team. You ask me if I ever went to church. I have gone two or three times and I like to go because there is an old soldier who talks and tells some interesting things that he has been through in his day. I must close for this time. Your son, , Chester Antrim. the lieutenant is Scott, and there are a few new ones. The mam ones are Colonels Ilagner and Davis. I'll tell you a few more next time. I got about 25 letters the other day and I sure did enjoy reading them. They all told of the school picnic, and how the girls were con trary to what the boys wanted, and the boys contrary to Nwhat the girls wanted. I had to laugh when Dorothy Barnett said the girls had the "eats" and the boys had to fol low. They all told mo about the play grounds, so I know it pretty well. I was surprised to get dad's letter tell him to keep it up, for we like to hear from you all. I have writ ten to Grandma Hale and Miss Fol lette, and have to write to Freeman and Luella yet, so will close for this time. Answer soon and tell them all hello for me. Your son, Harold Antrim. wearing little son vis- at Jefferson, From Harry A. Broyhill. San Antonio, Tex., June 1G, 1917. Dear Mother arfd Brother: Well, here it is Saturday and I am sure feeling fine. Am so I can drill all day now, so don't worry any more about me. Our company has been changed and it is now the 1st Co II. They have named this "Camp Kelly," after a man that went up in an air plane and got killed. It won't be long until we will assigned to a squad, then we get our revolvers, rifles and back packs, and then is when we will get some real drilling. George Miller and I are together every night. I received the cookies and none of them were broken, and he received a cake the same time and wo ate them together. The boys in my tent get big boxes of home made candy once a week and it is sure good, at least it tastes good to us away out here, for we are used to eating anything. There are new bunches coming in every day. There sure is a big camp here now, but won't say how many. I get the Herald and Eagle from George every week. I signed up for a whole lot more clothes yester day. Will send you a hardtack bis cuit in this letter, and if it gets broken it will be the first one broken without a lot of soaking. Will close for this time. Harry A. Broyhill. Juno 20, 1917. Dear Mother and Brother: Here it is Wednesday, and I have not got a letter. Got one from Verna yes terday and was sure glad to hear from her. I am doing carpenter work now. We are building bar racks. We put up four or five a day, and there are 90 of them. The kitchen and mess room is 10(5 feet long, and the sleeping quarters 212 feet long, so you can guess what it looks like. The camp is sure n big one. I wish you could seo it, it is quite a sight. I had a home cooked supper to night. One of the boys in my tent Bent home for n trunk and it came today. It was full of cakes, cookies, candies, pies, oranges, nuts, and everything. It sure was great and we appreciate those kind of things; but don't think I am ever hungry, for they sure do feed us good here, but we don't often get those kind of treats. Find out if you can if Charley Reader is in this camp and let me know, and I will look him up. Wo had church in the camp here Sunday in tents. We had the caval ry band and it was sure fine. 1 have to work Sundays and all until the barracks are done and then we get a big reward. The reward will be to learn to fly, and I sure will bo glad, for I would like to go up in an air plane. I had my picture taken, but don't know when I will get them, for we have not had a pay day yet, and don't know when we will. We get $G in canteen checks every month to buy tobacco, candy and those things. Will close with love to all. Harry. From Harold Antrim. Ft.Winfield Scott, Cal., Juno 17,'17.
