TRANSCRIBED FROM THE MALVERN TIMES JOURNAL NOVEMBER 21, 1918 P. 3
To Our Friends in Malvern:
Many friends have asked us to write them, so we find it quite impossible to write them all. This camp is a fine place. Many of the boys that left Malvern on Oct. 24, are in the hospital with the flu, but they are improving fast. We are having lots of rain here in Camp Travis, so that doesn’t go very good with flu. In the army we are feed and cared for very good. The Red Cross sure is good to us; they give us plenty of good warm beds to sleep on, so mothers, that had sons to leave Malvern on Oct. 24 for Camp Travis, need not worry, for the boys are all getting along just fine.
James B. Grissom,
Stoney Beauchamp,
Jeams H. Franklin,
Frank Pool,
John Thornton.
NOTES: This group of soldiers are writing from Camp Travis, Texas.
