Jan 1 1917 Dear Sister I have not heard from you since I left America, but I have been anxiously waiting we havent got any mail for three or four days and only a very little then. We have hobnails shoes now as our others were all wore thru and we were walking on our feet in the snow but now we have good heavy ones that we wont wear out so quick. The other night we got a paper from Camp Dodge telling how the drafted were to be showered with Candy and books and tobbacco and all such stuff and it made us very hastele because we thought we should be used as good as the drafted men and we are in a place where we cant buy Candy or tobbacco or anything
