I was beginning to think tho mail service had gone on a strike, as that was my first letter from home since I deft 'Fort Screven, Ga., al though, since 1 came through Kelley Field, I can see why 1, as well as the rest, didn't get mail regularly. There are thousands of soldiers coming In Vand going out every day, and it is just impossible to keep their mail straight. I h'avo about five Christ mas boxes there some place now that I would be very glad to get, but If I never get thom I will not blame the government, as I know they are doing their best. We had quito a nice, long trip from Fort Screven. around to this place, and believe-iiie, I was taking In all the scenery I could. Thirteen of us'boys loft Fort Screven Decem ber G th for Kelley Field, San Anto nio, Texas, and were routed via Montgomery, Ala., New Orleans, La., and along the Gulf coast to Houston and San Antonio. Most of our rfde on that routo was at night and I didn't get to see much. After leaving 'Montgomery we saw very little good farming until we got way out near Houston, and there the cotton^ crop ls not good. In my whole travel I never saw any cotton * that would beat that grown In Oco neo and Anderson counties, South Carolina. We arrived 'n Kelley Field on De cember 1 Otb and I was separated from the other boys. I don't know who was the unlucky thirteen-me, I guess, as I was placed on tent line No. 13. ""On December 18th I was assigned to the 166th Squadron, which was preparing to leavo for this place. I was appointed acting corporal of my tent, and on the 21st we departed for Fairfield. After boarding the train I Was placed in charge of our car and got along so nicely that on arriving here was ap pointed acting sergeant under the first sergeant, which position I still hold. We were < n tho train from the morning of tho 2 *t until the after noon of the 2 4th. Saw quito a bit of nico scenery and some swell towns.

I tried everything. Tho suffering was so severe I thought I was forever done with work. I tried everything I and my friends could got, but it looked like I was done with btislttess and work, for the bal ance of my life, lt struck me worst in-the small of my back and in the loft leg," continued Mr. Williams, By chance he heard of what Iron will do /or people with blood and system full of uric acid and the kld noys not acting right. He bought a bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, obtaina ble at mont drug stores. This is the highly concentrated natural product .of a mineral deposit of medicinal Iron. It is stronger and being con centrated is more economical, a few drops In a gloss of water being a full antine most of the time since, com ing here. You wrote of plonty of snow there. You should see the ground hero! We have been'here 13 days now, and the snow continues to grow deeper every day. Of course we soldiers don't have to worry for anything, and why should we care? j We certainly have a fine commanding officer for-our squadron, and he, too, thinks he has the best squadron on j the field. On New Year's Day the 1 I squadron presented him with a fine 1 wrist watch, and In return we got ! one of the biggest boosts I ever i hoard. He said, when finishing, "Now,, men, remember if anybody asks you, you want to be sure and tell them that you belong to the highest branch of the service there ls, and that you are from the 16 6th Aero .Squadron, U. S. Regular Army." The squadron ls at present going to school, all but the sergeant major and myself., The sergeant major doesn't go to school, and 1 have my application in as machine gunner, for which branch of service the school has not opened yet. I am at pres-:, eut acting in tho supply sergeant's place while he is going to school. I don't like the idea of missing school, but the commanding officer told me that If I cared to stay away and help the sergeant major out he would take care of me all right. I think we have about three or four weeks here yet, provided we have no more mea sles. I am anxious to "go across." Oeo. M. White, Jr. KAT RIG M KA LS !
