Camp Logan, Tex Dec 20 –17

 

Dear Anna,

 

            Well we are back at Camp Logan at last.  We arrived here at 2 am this morning.  We were in the cars at Sour Lake from 3 pm until about 8 pm before and engine came to haul us away and it was after 1 am before we arrived where we got off the train.  I received a letter from you and one from Mabel today.  Eva also sent a package of candy cookies olives cheese sandwiches and gum.  I received a package from HSB & Co with dates figs, raisins candies and other things in it. There was an awful lot of mail today; pretty nearly everybody was receiving packages.

 

            The weather is a good deal warmer here than it was at Sour Lake. I was sweating this morning.

 

            We changed squads again this morning and the fellows in my squad are all different from the ones I had in the last squad.  We have done nothing at all today but straighten up our tents today.  I suppose we will start in tomorrow and work pretty hard.  I might as well keep the mittens until I am sure we are not going to have any more cold weather.  I do not think I will lose them because I keep all my stuff in one place.  I sent the Xmas cards and the New Year card. I think it will be to (sp) late to send any more after today.  I just happened to think that it is your birthday tomorrow.  I forgot all about Mabel’s.  Well you have my best wishes which is all I can send you.

 

You will not have to send any more papers as I can buy Chicago papers every day now.  You better tell Eva the same as she and Ed send quite a few.  I do not know what we are going to do on Xmas day.  I think we will not have very much time to write letters from now on. 

 

I have nothing more to write about so I will close hoping you have a Merry Xmas

 

                                                                                                Love to all
