men. Thats getting things done in a hurry. We've got all our trunks and heavy guns loaded on the train now. worked most of last night. We should pull out ourselves some time tonite or at the latest tomorrow for the north. I always wanted to spend a winter in the sunny south and thought for awhile that this was it. Didn't care to spend it in the army though. Don't look as if we'll be in much warm weather very soon as we were just issued 4 heavy blankets and a comforter and heavy jackets, overshoes. So winter weather here I come. I don't usually write quite so soon but as I'm changing my address maybe its best because I want to hear from you. Who Knew? Writing so often it might become a habit. Wouldn't be a bad habit to get into. Seems as if I just get started writing and something else comes up. We're leaving right away. Love Clarence P.S. New address is PVT Co E. 168th Inf. 34th Division APO #813 New York City % Postmaster New York
