Dear Miss Lola,

Just a few lines to let you people know how much well we are situated in Camp life. I know that your 
father will enjoy hearing about the good conditions we have here. We arrived her on the morning of 
September Tenth and it took us most of the day to get our equipment transported from the railroad to 
our company location. Consequently we did not get our tents put up for the night, but bunked the best 
we could in the mess shack and under it. They had a large wooden mess shack well built for us, with 
a kitchen in the rear. It is about a hundred and fifty feet long by thirty feet wide, so we were all 
able to get under cover nicely. The next day we got the ground graded and put up our tents and began 
life in camp. It was

no longer then before got wooden floors in and sides up about five feet, with a frame work above to 
stretch our tent over. Also we do not have to use lanterns and candles in our tents so we have electric 
lights in each, so you see we have all the comforts of home, even to [sic] shower baths. We have a nice 
terrace between our tents and the street, but as yet have been unable to get any grass to grow on it,

forgets how to act after being around with just a crowd of men all the time! I was out for a dinner 
one night, and I did not know how I would make our, but found that my sister wall came our night, so 
I dont [sic] believe I have quite forgotten my table manners.

I have been quite fortunate down here in getting invitiations out. There are two Osteopaths practicing 
here, and though then I have met some dandy people. He graduated from the Philadelphia school, but know 
Dr. Sarah Moore, who used to be with you and graduated the class ahead of me. They are brother and sister 
and neither are married, and are both mighty fine, though I think she is a much better doctor than he 
is. I dont [sic] know of anything more of interest so will close with best regards to all. Sincerely 
your friend,
