“With The Colors”
“Camp Gordon, Atlanta, GA.
“To Local Board at Waynesboro:

“I thank the local board for their kindness for the night I spent in Waynesboro Tuesday night, for I love the Waynesboro people. I thank the people very much at Allen’s creek for the dinner they served Wednesday. We sure did enjoy it for we did not know at the time whether we would have anything to eat when we reached our camp or not. We took supper at Dickson and spent the night on the train, arriving in Atlanta at 6:10 a.m. Thursday, December 6. We spent our six hours and ten minutes in Atlanta, Ga; and at our first meal as soldiers at Campt Gordon December 6 at 1:30 P.M. We had beef, soup, potatoes and many other good things to eat.

“Come on, boys. This place is not so bad. All it lacks of being like home is mother and father. Of course we young people need not expect to stay at home always.

“We sure to have some fun at meal time. There are about one hundred and thirty in my company, and some have to wait until it comes their turn to get their meals or be waited on. But let me remind you, we have plenty to eat, good beds to sleep on and lots of cover. To-night we aim to have fire all night to keep our room warm.

“O I must not forget. Do not fail to help the Y.M.C.A. if you get a chance.” //s// L.B.McFALL
