FROM BOB CLAYTON

Mr. Walter W. Raney,
Dear Walter:
As I am sitting around the
barracks this warm afternoon
enjoying army life, thought
I would drop you a few lines.
Everything is as lovely as ]
could wish for and I know I am
going to lfke it fine. There are
several thousand new drafts
here now and they are all
learning something new every
day.
We landed in camp about
4:30 and made several long
halts and short marches. After
going through our roll call sev
eral times we were finally
marched about a mile to our
barracks where we are now
resting. The only work we
have done is to take a hike
down in the woods and bring
up some stove wood, that was
great sport for the boys.
I trust that this will find
everything moving along very
smoothly. Be sure to send the
Home News for it will be like
a letter from home.
Bob Clayton,
Camp Pike, Ark.
