Letters From Our Boys In Service

[Page 1, August 6, 1942]

Hi Keith,

How's everything in Grand River? They put me way down here in Austin, Texas, at a new camp and gee, is there a lot of work here getting it fixed up? There are about one thousand boys coming in here every day.

Ralph Glazebrook is here too. He is in the same Regiment that I am but different company. I am in Co. L. and he is in Co. A.

[continued on Page 2 - Transcriber's Note: The rest of the letter was continued on page three of the Centennial Edition.] I would have written to you sooner but was too busy. It sure has been plenty warm here.

This camp will consist of everything but the Air Corps. There are about 35,000 acres in the Camp area so you see it's not such a small camp.

Well that's all I can think of at the present and I am thanking you in advance for the paper.

Your friend,
Pvt. Woodrow Zimmerman

Co. L. 378th Inf.

A.P.O. No. 95

Camp Swift, Texas
