Dear Sister
It is with pleasure that
I seat myself to write
those few lines to let you
know that I am well
and hope this will find
you the same
this is the second camp
we have been in since I wrote
you last, we are moving about
every day, we are first in
VA, and next in DC
I went to washington
saturday and had my
profile drawn, and I
am going to send one
to you, and I shall
expect yours in return
if you can make it
convenient I would
like for you to have all
your familys taken and
send to me, and when
I receive it I will send
you the cost,
I have not written to
Margaret yet but
I will soon
give John my best
wishes and tell him
to stay at home
is constitution is
not strong enough
to stand sogering
we have a battallion
drill at three oclock
P.M. write often
excuse bad penmanship
yours truly G.W.F.
