26 June 18. My dear Conger: Hello, boy! We are here at last. Mother received your letter while at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., visiting me a month ago, just before we left. She and father were with me for a fine visit the last two weeks. Jennie was there the last six weeks. We've been over two weeks but the only time for writing heretofore I have spent writing home. We are billeted while waiting for room at a nearby artillery training camp, and although we are spread all over the map, are very comfortable. My bttn. is at a beautiful old chateau and I have the big room where visiting kings slept 400 years ago, canopied beds, and all. We expect to be in training about two months near here.
