Dear Folks at Home, Well here it is just one year since I left Plainview. Does not seem very long, time flies so fast over here. Just received your letter of July 7th, so you see mail travels very slow. Received a fine letter from Nettie, but we are on the go so much do not have any daylight to write in and cannot have a light at night, so will have to ask you to send this to them. When the drive is over will write more and at least once a week.
Was up with the horses last night and saw some fine artillery fire. Old Jerry did not return much of it either. We are having a lot of rain here now and some mud. It was quite clear the other day and I had a pretty good view of (cut by censor) so you know about where we are.
Wish you could send me a pair of high top shoes, as we cannot get any here. Could also use some wool socks with them.
Am feeling fine and have lots of friends here. The officers of Bat. C. have been fine to me and give me most anything I want. Say hello to all the boys, and cheer up folks for every dark cloud has silver lining.
Tell Dad not to miss the deer hunt this fall and next year I will go up with him. Love to all, Park D. Sylvester.
