Dearest Rose

I am just going to write you a few lines to let you know that I got through alright. nearly got snow in last night. it sure snowed hard all the way from albany New York too Boston. There is about four or five inches here now. The train was a little late this morning I was supposed to report at nine-and I didn’t get here until nearly eleven.

I don’t think they are going to send me on the same ship. They are going to keep me here a while and send me on another one.

Well Rose I don’t suppose you are going out much now? Are you going to work at Rankins? or are you going to stay on the farm? I do hope you will be there next summer anyway because I expect to be back than and maybe be four. I never will go to Manitowoc any more if you are not there. I will stay on the farm. But if you work in Manitowoc I will be with you-

It sure seems nice to travel in uniform. The Red Cross give us candy. Apples. Sandwitches. When we got off the train in Buffalo they took care of our baggage. And gave us supper. They sure are good to us. There was a fellow came with me. he is sailor too. he only lives twenty miles from my home. he sure is a nice fellow and was fine company. We left Chicago eleven-o-clock Wednesday night. and got here Friday morning eleven.

Did you ever get that letter I wrote you from home? if you did you can answer the two when you write.

I am little tired from traveling didn’t have enough sleep to amount to any thing sence last Monday night.

I just wrote a letter to my mother. And must write a card to my aunt. so as news is scarce I will close for this time. will write again as soon as I get on another ship. I don’t think I will go back on the same one. And don’t know how soon they will send me to another. But I am in no hurry.

Well Rose this will be all for now. So Good-Bye

With Best Love.

Answer Soon.
