Letter
Sunday April 14, 1918
Dear Folks,
My first week out here has gone by and it has been a might busy one. We have taken 9 exams in all and we have 3 more to take. We all passed the most important subjects. In two or three minor ones we did not receive enough at Dunwoody so they may hold us here a week longer, but we got a report last night that we were booked to leave for Pensacola, Florida next Saturday.
Tuesday morning we took our physical exams. It was a severe test. One of our men will have to stay behind and go to the hospital for an operation. He was over looked by the Minneapolis doctors.
