TRANSCRIBED FROM THE GREEN FOREST TRIBUNE AUGUST 9, 1918 P. 2
Dear mother:
I will write you a few lines to let you know I arrived here from Camp Pike all right. We were three days and nights on the train.
I am now living in a tent. Have been in the army one week, but it seems like a month.
Where is Bob Patton?
Give me his address so I can write to him; also give me Cline and Charlie’s address.
Hope the war will soon be over.
It has been raining here this morning and I haven’t any thing to do but lay around.
I am a long ways from home but I will be home some day.
Tell every body hello for me, so good bye.
Ellis Pendley,
5th Co. Vetinary Training School,
Camp Lee, Va.
NOTES: Ellis Harbert Pendley was born in Green Forest, Arkansas on September 8, 1895 and died on May 14, 1972 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is buried in the Sunny Lane Cemetery in Del City, Oklahoma.
