A number of his friends also accom­ panied Robert Knox to that <$ty, he having left Saturday morning. Last Sunday was the hottest day of the season, McHenry people fairly sweltering from the heat. Those who attended the circus in the after­ noon probably suffered the most. Many sought relief in the cooling waters of Fox river Jmd near by lakes.

We have not learned whether, the rule is applied generally or whether same has been adopted at the McHenry exchange only.

Camp Gordon, Atlanta 6a., June 9. Dear Uncle and Aunt--As time per­ mits, I will drop a few lines to you I promised to do. I am feeling fine and hope you are the same. The sr has been nice and cool the last week. It rained Thursday and Friday evenings. The first week I are it was awfully hot. They keep us busy here most of the at drilling, tho they are very good to us. When we work they want us to work, when we play they want us to play, when we rest they want us to rest and when we eat they want us to eat. If a private tries to do half-way what is right they are willing to,come the other half. Our barracks are about fifty feet from the Y. M. C. A. Here we can get all the writing paper we want and we can also do our writing here. We had mass in this building this morn­ ing. I went to confession and com­ munion. We have all kinds of amusements after reveille. We have baseball, boxing, some good bouts and movies, always something doing. The eats are and have been very good so far. They tell us that our company is one of the best bunch of men they have had, which means a whole lot for us. I have a full uniform and they all say I look good. I haven't been to Atlanta as the camp is about twelve miles from town. If we go by street car it takes about two hours to get there and if we hire a jitney it costs us one dollar. We can get everything in the store here in the camp we want. This camp is on a mountain. One of the officers told me it was 10,000 feet above the sea level. It gets very cool towards morning and it makes a person hug the. blankets. The nights are fine to sleep and I can always sleep good. We saw some fine scenery coming down here. We left Libertyville at 8:00 o'clock and had dinner in Chi­ cago at the C. ft E. I. depot. We left there at 1:00 o'clock and went to Evansville, Ind. Here we had sup­ per, or lunch rather, served to us in lunch boxes, but plenty of it. The next stop was at Chattanooga, Tenn., at 9:30 o'clock the following morning. Here we stopped three hours. We were given another lunch box. We left again at 12:30 and arrived safely at the camp at 6:30 o'clock. We were marched to the supply station and After this we were marched back to our barracks and directed to our bunks. Then we had supper at about 10 o'clock in the evening and then to bed. I guess they were all glad to hit a bed. I knOw I was. I think I have said enough in this letter, so I will close, hoping to hear from you. This is about the longest letter I have ritten. My best regards to all. Henry Freum Miss Delia Schaid has handed us the following letter which she recently received from her brother, Joseph, who is now Camp Stanton, May 27, 1918. Dear . Sister Delia--Well, I received forty-two letters this morning, so I'll havf to get busy and answer them. I like it fine here. Everything looks pretty arouqd our camp. Bar­ ley is all headed out and hay cutting is now in progress. When they be­ gin taking it in I will offer them my services as it will seem like being back on the farm and that's just where I want to be when I return. Tell mother that I received the money she sent me and also tell not to send any more as I have all the money I need. We are paid the tenth of each month.
