Had a hot Chicken Sandwich and had to leave for camp by 10:30 got in just before 12:00. It was more like getting ome when we got into camp. The city is just one big bunch of Soldiers and the people in town don't like to see them.
Fed Asjley had the Ricke's Camp At present I can't think of a name for the Baby. I am afraid that I shall have to leave that to you and mother. I might add later if I have a brain storm.
