[Sept 10, 1917] Fort Wayne Ind. Monday 10 oclock 1917 Co MG Reg. 168 Camp Mills Long Island Dear Father, We left Des Moines at noon Sunday we stopped in Broklyn Iowa from 2:30 till six waiting for the other trains to catch up. We are travelling in tourists cars, where they let the bunks down from the top. and we are not allowed to leave our car so it is very hard to get paper to write on I was lucky to get some this morning. We traveled all night and reached Chicago about 6 oclock this morning but just skirted the edge of town and went on into Indiana. Indiana is a helluva country it is all
