Dear Folks:

Got into Vancouver, Washington across the Columbia River, tonite.  Still going north tomorrow.  Passed this place today—beautiful country.  Pretty chilly-

Love,

Dear Folks:

Happened in a drugstore so will send a card.  A pretty town in the hills.  Tell Katie my address.  Just sent a letter so not much to write about.  Going to Bend, Ore. Tomorrow.  Will write then.

Love,

[illegible] in town with real hospitality.  Having a dance tonite.  Just got in good shows in the hi-school.  Can’t get over the cold weather, snow and a cold breeze.  Tomorrow nite will be in Vancouver our destination, covered 291 miles today.  People are swell here and the town is very quaint.  Will write tomorrow.

Love,

Dear Folks:

Just found out a little while ago I’m leaving for Camp Roberts in California.  We leave tonight at six o’clock on a troop train.  Understand this is about 230 [miles] from Grandma.  Hate to go so far from home and all of you.  A little consolation is that out of my group of four hundred eighty men I was one of three to get a skilled rating.  Will write on the way.

Love,

Dear Mom,

Just got in Cheyenne after a hell of a dirty ride.  Played cards on my way over.  Waiting for bus to fort.

More later,
