tomorrow. I am getting a locker made 36 x 18 x 12 inches. It will be about $3.00. It will be much better than a suitcase for suitcase won't stand so much rough usage. Address all mail to me in care of Troop B. 1st. Iowa Cavalry. Lone Tree Iowa. Several of the fellows have canvas bags like mine but they all think mine is the best. And so do I and why shouldn't I. Did you see Ress yet. If you don't see him pretty soon I am going to write him. We get our mail brought right to the camp if it is addressed properly. However I call at the P.Office every day so I'll get it anyway. Eight fellows sleep in one camp. This includes one corporal. Our corporal is a young fellow by the name of Eden. He lives here
