Leaving Camp Roberts

: Dear Ann + Rich, How is the war talk around home, are they taking many new men through? It is about the same here, except the big shots are running around and don’t seem to know what to do. I guess we will be here for a while yet all tho we are near to where they are fighting Well I got paid today $33.68 for 2 month boy isn’t that something! I sure needed it. I had 63 cents. We can’t leave camp now so I guess I will be here for Christmas. I saw Thelma Sun. had a good time will write more next time FELIX

: Dear Ann. Just a line to let you ko we are leaving this camp. don’t no where. so don’t send any more mail until I let you no. I suppose I will get the mail from here ok but it would take some time. good bye Felix
