Dear Mother,

Dear Mother,
I got your letter and one from Frank day before
yesterday. The first letters I have had
for two weeks. You said it was your
third letter though, so I have got all you wrote so far. But this last one was delayed in being
forwarded from the casual camp. This is
the 5th letter I have wrote to you. Let
me know if you got them all. We have a
whole lot better place since we moved.
The tents here are walled up about 4 feet and they have a floor. We get plenty to eat here so we had pie last
Sunday. I eat half of a pie and some of
the boys eat a whole pie.
We are still
not supposed to leave the Co. St. but we all go over to the other streets and
some go to town. I have never been to
town yet. Only when we were
marching. The most of the houses in town
have big green trees around them. Some
are elders, cottonwood and locust trees.
It sure is windy here today and there is to much dust in the air. You can’t see anywhere. It has been awful hot here. I can sit in the tent with the sides rolled up and sweat clean through my clothes when the wind isn’t blowing. Did the PO department advertise for three times a week mail? Jim was over yesterday evening. He is getting along alright.

Have the boys seen my cow that we milked last summer we
didn’t find her before I left? Well I
don’t know anything more to write so will quit for this time.
As ever, Charley
As ever, Charley
