May 22. 1917. Dear doctor: ' - To begin with, I hope you will excuse my penmanship. My present quarters are in a tent with many air holes, and following a rain this morning, we were presented with some very cold winds, so cold that my bands are almost stiff. But we fellows eay, "We should worry," and some say, "This is not a taste of what we might hare later." Of my few days of amy life which I have enjoyed - Immensely, I have been very much impressed about many things. The thing that Impresses me most is the thing that I'm sure you are interested in, the wonderful work of the Y. M. C. A- ' Write of "Y" Work. I have been prompted to write to you every time I have come in contact with their work here. I am sure they could never be given the praise and credit that is due them. Men from all walks of life are rubbing - elbows with each other. I believe this training we are about to receive, will be a blessing. In this life all men are on a more equal basis. The Y. M. C. A. men always have a

ready smile, a word of cheer and helpfulness. ' In the headquarters there are games, baseball outfits, a piano, grapha-: phone, reading matter of all kinds, writing paper, pens, etc Then almost every evening- they show motion pictures for the men. I am sure you all realize somewhat better than I, what; all this means to a en who perhaps ; have never come in touch with a Y. M. C. A. I am indefinitely located here. Regards to the class.
