“LEFTY” ASSUMES HIS NEW DUTIES AT CAMP TAYLOR

Canip Taylor, Ky., Aug. 29. Dear Folks:— t Well, here I am pounding a typewriter in an office—seems natural, but it’s a devil of a way to soldier. Arrived in camp on time Monday -morning and was told to pack up my belongings and go to the other side of the camp at once, which I did without further argument You don’t argue in the army, you know, but I sure did hate to lift that load on my back and start out. Besides, it was' raining, and I don’t care for another day like it soon. Was placed in the office immediately on reporting to my new commander. Conditions are pleasant here and I have already learned that one-third of the non-coms are granted a thirtysix hour leave each week, so you see that if. I so desire I can come home once every three weeks. Haven’t much time to write this evening but will try and do so tomorrow night. Think I can write more and oftener now. There are plenty of things to write about in a place like this, so will see if I can’t knock out a few columns for the paper also before the week is over. HOWARD B. CLARK. My address is: 7th Co., Dev. Bn. No. 2, Camp Taylor, Ky.
