Letters From Our Soldier Boys
FROM JOUKOTTAS JR.
Camp Travis .Texas,
October 3, 1917.
Dear Folks: j
I received your letter, was
sure glad to hear from you but
inuelt say that I don’t think of
••lining home. I believe it will
he better to stay after I am here
don’t you, as I like it here and
it is a cinch it won’t hurt me
any. I will get a little experi-
ence if nothing else. About m.v
exemption, it might make some
happy but most of ill jt would
mak« most of the pthers feel bad
«ud I told1 the iboys when I was
getting on the train in Medford
that I would stay by them till |
tbe end and that is what 'I will
do. We get lots’ of drilling here
I sure like that part of it alj
right. They never drilled us yes
terday as ye got a shot in the
aran. Today we will get a half
day off but Friday and Satur-
day will drill all day. Sunday
«’e don’t drill. Some of the boys
don fc like it here but I like it
pretty well. Of course it isn’t
Brennan and Mr Cnoxton and
Breeden for hits speech. Speech
making and drilling arc two dif-
ferent things. Good luck to all.
