Dear Folks at home I received your letter yesterday Written Aug. 14. Was on the water when you wrote 
it.The first I heard from you for a long time.The last time I heard was adressed [sic] to Camp Bode 
I got it at Camp Mills, N.Y.

I was sorry to hear about little brother being sick wish I could of heard how he was last night when 
I got the letter. So many changes can happen between letters before I get them. I will worry now 
untill [sic] I hear from you again But I am liveing [sic] in hopes he will be all right [sic] but he 
isent [sic] very strong and I am afraid it will go hard with him.

I am all so vexed to think Vern dident[sic] go with the auto truck service. he shure [sic] would of 
saved his feet many a hard tramp  [sic]. And he has bad feet anyway. But I can say this much I have 
felt fine all this time and have never been on the sick list. So I have no kick comeing [sic]. |Over.|

I cant say but what I have rather enjoyed this life so far. Am getting anxious to get into the real 
stuff and get it over with. I have shure [sic] seen some beautiful sight I would of never had a chance 
to see if it hadent [sic] been for this war and I think I will see some sights before I come back if 
nothing happens.

I have plenty to eat so far and have a good place to sleep and plenty of exercise so I guess that is 
plenty. Well I want you to write very often for you know it will be a long time between letters when 
I get them. And I will try and write more often than I have before.

Well I will close for this time as I dont know of anymore to say now.

Hopeing [sic] to hear from you soon.

I remain as ever your loveing [sic] son &

Brother. Pvt. George J. Douglas.
