I am fine and hope you are the same. Am very busy from morning till night Today we pitched nine hi* tents to sleep in for about two fcittMligrd men. The rookies are caglfting in this week and therefore had to give up our barracks for ten dajfe, while they are in quarantine. We haven't much drill­ ing to do, bat hike every Thursday night for about two hours. Every Friday at noon we go out of camp for about three miles and pitch our sleep­ ing tenta and stay for the night. We carry three blankets, a shelter half, mess'kit, knapsack and first aid med* ical belt, on our back. In all weigh­ ing about fifty-two pounds The med- teal belt consists of adhesive tape, spirits of aromatic ammonia, iodine, swabs, two pair of scissors, a book of blue and white tags. The blue tags are for severely wounded soldiers wh» we helpless and feel blue. The white ones for the slightly wounded. . I was |it Marengo Sunday at the dedication of the Sacred Heart ser­ vice flag, consisting of twenty-six stars. About thirty soldiers were present besides the base hospital mil­ itary band of twenty-two pieces, in-j charge of Lieut. Rev. J. F. Xonergan; The services were very beautiful. We had a chicken dinner, which we do not get in camp. In the afternoon we were entertained by the young ladies of the parish. We left Marengo at four o'clock and arrived in camp at eight. We did not pass -any wet toims, but stopped anyway. The Marengo people certainly treated vis fine during the short time that we were there, which was appreciated by all. One year ago today the first board was cut-for the barracks in this camp, which today is a nice little town for the boys in khaki. I hear there are about fifty thousand soldiers in this camp now. All the boys will parade into Rockford on July 4, starting at seven o'clock and returning at noon. In the afternoon the boys will be al­ lowed to visit with their folks from home. There will be all kinds of en­ tertainments during the afternoon, such as boxing bouts, ball games and also some good speakers Will be pres­ ent. A grand display of fireworks will take place at eight o'clock in the evening. I see by last week's paper that John Unti is coming to camp Thursday. Well, I hope he will like it. McHenry has given quite a few of her sons to the colors and I hope she is able to give some more. Many of them are in France now and more will soon fol­ low. I hope they will all come back with a hip hip hurray. Well, I guess I have written all the news. Expect to be home <n a thirty hour passed shortly after the Fourth. Hope to hear from you soon.

Karls, in a letter to his par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Karls, of this village, tells of his whereabouts in France. The letter referred to fol­ lows: Angers, France, June 8, 1918. Dear Mother and Dad--I received your letter of May 7 today and was glad to hear from you and that you are all well. I feel fine now, but was sick all last week, had a bad cold and it settled in my head and chest. The soldiers on duty in the roar can write as to where they are lo­ cated and as I am on duty in the rear I can tell you. I am stationed at Angers, France, at the present and am doing carpenter work. I suppose that will interest dad. I am doing fine at it. I was appointed wagoner about two weeks ago and am in hopes of going up some more. There are lots of chances over here and a fel­ low can work himself up if he tries. My new appointment means about six dollars more a month so that will help some. Money don't go so far here as it does over there. I have learned a lot about the carpenter game, as it is all fine work. L think I will take a course in building construction wfaen get bade. I met Floyd over here about two weeks ago. The poor kid was in the hospital at Washington, D, C., three months and all the while I thought he was over here. Margaret wrote that she had been out to McHenry to see you all and that she had a good time out there. I imagine I Weald enjoy a visit to Mc­ Henry now and it- looks new as tho we will all be back soon. The Amer­ icans are just getting started and artf doing great Will close for this time.
