letter to Chas. G. Montgomery Co. I. 142nd Inf. Camp Bowie, Tex.
Willow, Okla: Feb 17-1918
Mr. Chas. Montgomery. My Dear Friend: Will take the greatest pleasure in answering your most kind and appreceated letter. Which I received a few days ago and was surely glad to hear from you again for I surely enjoy reading your letters.
Well this is Sunday night and I am wondering what you are doing. Hope you are having a good time what ever you are doing.
I have had a right nice time this afternoon. A little crowd of we “kids” went out Kodaking and believe me Brother we sure had some keen pictures made. Wish you could have been with us. I am sure you could have enjoyed yourself but “Gee” it was cold as . But we could not be bothered could we? Now I don’t think it sounds so strange of me saying there wasn’t any thing here for past times. Now I am right of course. There could be some more but things are so dull every one is crying the “war” and most of our boys are gone. But most of us all may think of the good old times at home where we are away from harm and think what a good time we could have had.
Sure would have been glad if you could have been with me the 14th. We surely did have a good time. Wed-night we had a “Uncle Sam” play. It surely was good. My little brother was Uncle Sam. He was so much like his pictures that we all sure had to fun of him and another play Sat-night. “Uncle Josh (Jack?)” it was right good. Well I had a letter from “Billie the kid.” He is some mess. He has got one on me but I will get it back at him if I don’t. Well it is very late so I must close for I guess you are tired reading this stuff. Hoping to hear from you real soon. and please excuse this writing. Your Friend, “Eula” (Clifton)
