The following letter was re ceived by the South Side Im orina. Lois Gatos, Cal. Dear Club Ladies: I got your package and sure want to thank you for it. We had a real army Christmas but the only thing was we had to eat Christmas dinner with our guns by our side. But if that is the worst that will happen while T am in the army it won’t be bad. One thing we had a few Cali fornia gals eat with us. So that was quite a treat when it happens for the first time in six months. We are at Los Gatos now it is about fifty miles from San Fran cisco. I like the army a lot better since we left the camp even if it ' is a harder life. I don’t have as much time to write letters but I try to answer them all. We just had an alarm for a black out but after all it turned out to be the fire whistle so may be I can finish this letter. We have details of all kinds such as K. P., guard which I go on at ten tonight and if we do something wrong we get it before our time is up. We have about the nicest bunch of officers in the army. We have been having all the rain we want, and it gets pretty chilly here nights. But I would sooner be in Nebraska when it gets cold enough to wear an over coat. Well I will have to close for its getting close to ten. Thanking you again for the nice candy and cookies. Prt. Raymond Winkler.
