Well I have a few spare moments so will drop you a few lines. I am feeling fine & dandy.

      We were over across the bay to the Rifle Range & we will go back again to morrow to shoot for the record.

      How is every one back there? Has Ernie left yet?

      Fort Baker where we were at today sure is a pretty little Fort & back away from the excitement & noise.

      I was to the dentist yesterday & had one of my teeth fix. But they seemed something like a horse Doctor. They had so many to work on & they had to hurry up.

      You had ought to of heard us at target practice. Sound like a real 4th of July. But some awfully punk shooting. I shot 167 out of a possible 300 & I think I can make Marksman A. I didn't do so much at pistol practice. And besides I don't get to carry one any way so a rifle will be for me. I would rather shoot a rifle any way.

      Well news is scarce so I guess I will have to close for this time. Will write again tomorrow. Well Bye Bye for now

Your son
With Love to all
