Was written on September 8, 1918, by a Jewish soldier at Camp Devens, Ayer Massachusetts. He was in the 73rd Infantry at the time. From the letter………..Yes I certainly was very much surprised what the boys and girls of my club has done for me, although I have contributed to such similar cases as mine. I suppose I have explained to you why I lost my furlough for the Jewish holidays but nevertheless it is not the only thing that is going to befall upon me. I know I have loaned my body and soul to Uncle Sam and though being ?? In Tachrichim temporarily I cannot offer him any more than the best that is in me. So I am prepared to attack the worst that has to come. There are plenty experiences to come before me that will be added to my list. I certainly have the consolation and courage enough to endure them. During the holidays of Roshashonah I am always present here in Shool? And I enjoyed very much to hear shaefer blowing, we were treated with sandwiches, apples and other eatables by whatever Jewish people were present. A good many of the Jewish boys here in camp were sent for holidays to some of the most prominent people of Jewish faith in this state. That was because a number of the boys homes were to far away to go home. I sure think that it was very hospitable of the Jewish Welfare Board in doing so. As long as you asked me whether the girl that came to see me was a shicksa I can honestly say that she was, but she was a very reasonable one and a good worker for the benefit of the boys and girls club that I belonged to. Yes she did enjoy her self very much here and like the camp very much…………Oh how I hate to get up in the morning is quite a song and that is about the most popular song here in camp at 5 AM. Yes I do get up at 4:30 AM every morning to play Revillie on the bugle. I have plenty of bugling to do and I don’t mind it at all……..
