Letter dated November 26, 1917
Ft Winfield Scott
Nov. 26 1917
Dear Folks,

      Hello, Folks. How is every body back there? This leaves me fine & dandy.

      Bennie Wilson was here yesterday on his road home from back there. It sure was good to see him & the good news he brought with him & sure had us interested & we were very strict listeners to any thing from there.

      We are still at Scott FORT WINFIELD SCOTT but expect to leave soon. But as I said before we don't know when.

      We had a big hike last Saturday with our heavy packs. It was about 6 miles round trip & these packs began to get heavy. But it suited alright as we got out of inspection & had the rest of the day off & some of the boys were issued passes till 4 oclock Sunday. But as I didn't have any place I could go I didn't stay long.

      I am sending you a couple of pictures I had taken in the trenches with a couple of old ladies. The (??) I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS WORD IS one used to live in Soo City SIOUX CITY on Prospect Hill. & the other one in New York. They sure seemed to be nice people too. I have met several nice people from Kansas City & they certainly treated me fine. These San Francisco people have treated us fine, but they haven't got the good stuff in them that the old eastern folks have.

      I wish you were here to see the trenches. They are certainly crowded on Sundays with site seers.

      I am going to a movie show at the Y-M-C-A tonite or I am here now but the show doesn't start for quite a while yet. It reminds me of Shewster's show. Ha, Ha.

      I suppose the corn is about all picked. The next will be shelling I suppose. No corn shelling for me, but I'll shell the Dutch. GERMANS

      Well Moma news is scarce so will close for this time. So Bye, Bye.

With Love to all
Your son
Kinley Cisney

The fat kid is from St. Edward's Nebr. Alvin Peterson. The other is from Elkhown Ia. Einer Pedersen. And your happy son.
