TRANSCRIBED FROM THE SCOTT COUNTY ADVANCE REPORTER MARCH 7, 1918 P. 1
Camp Beauregard, La.
Feb. 23rd, 1918.
Hello to the old Advance Reporter and its many readers:
As I have nothing to do, I thought I would write a few lines. There sure is quite a stir in Remount now and also in Beauregard. Quarantine has been raised on the Camps and the boys are visiting each other for the first time in a good while. We sure did have some excitement to other day. There was an aeroplane came from Lake _____to visit Beauregard, and every boy in Beauregard turned out to see her.
J. B. Hawkins said he wished he had one of them and was back at home so he could go to see his girl. I believe J. B. studies about his girl a good deal; the other day I asked him how he was feeling, and he said, "No, I haven't heard from her in about a week or more." I said, "She must be sick of joined the army."
Will Lovett said, "He wished them Germans could get their minds to working like his."
R. R. Pitman is looking better since he took a bath.
Radford House.
314 Remount Station.
P.S. Say, Mr. Cox, tell them Scott County girls that cake still tastes good to soldier boys.--R. H.
NOTES: Radford House was born in Oklahoma on September 9, 1893 and died on March 22, 1966. He is buried in the Chant Cemetery in Scott County, Arkansas. His headstone identifies him as an Arkansas Pvt. serving in Co. C, 346th Infantry in WWI.
