Conger Reynolds correspondence, January 1918

1918-01-30 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 4

yards and streets, climbed aboard a string of double deckers, and were trolleyed to a cantonment.  Here we were assigned to huts and permitted to stand in line for about an hour to draw blankets. The huts were unheated. I went to bed with pajamas over "heavies" and a sweater and two pairs of socks on. Even so I shivered all night. And so did everybody. We got to sleep about 2 a.m. and were awakened at 8. It was drefully shivery even if the robins were singing outdoors. We messed in a bunch on a slice of ham, three of bread, and a bowl of coffee. This morning we were in town for two hours. It is an old, quaint place and so interesting that I should like to stay awhile. But France will be more interesting. 
I'm thinking of you and loving you constantly. And, oh, how I should like to see you.
All yours,
Conger.
