WELLIVER RECEIVES
NEWSY CAMP LETTER
The following letter was received dnr- I
ing the week by Karl Welliver, of the
Alaskan Engineering commission force, ,
from his brother, Julian, a lad of IS, who
recently joined the aviation corps and is j
now training for service at the front:
Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
4th Aero Squadron,
May S, 1917.
Dear folks at home: We arrived here
after four days and four nights ot travel;
first we went into quarantine camp and
were lucky enough to get out in 24 hours,
and were stationed at the old aviation
field for a week. We are now moved to
a new field where there are 39 Curtis
machines.
Today I saw a machine light and come
running along and hit a muddy spot, tip
up and stand on its nose; the propeller
was broken to smithereens. About 15
aviators made flights today: two of them
made loops and they must have liked it
tor they made a lot of them.
I have been assigned to the 4th Aero
squadron. Am feeling fine but have not
been filled up for a week. It will be
better now, though, as we have a camp
kitchen on every street. There are about
1000 men in our camp and 40,000 count
ing all branches of the service. The
other camps are scattered over 60,000
acres of government land. I was the
only man in our bunch to be assigned.
A fellow named Frederick is the only
one I know who was assigned to the4th.
I am in a tent with seven University of
Montana students.
Texas is not so had. The tices are in
full bloom and crops are started fine.
The state fooled me. It is all cultivated
that I saw; there are few places where
there is nothing growing.
San Antonio is a queer place; the streets
run in all directions and are narrow. I
saw the Alamo the other night but will
visit it again when I am in town in the
day time.
We wont have any money until next
month.
When we were at the old field there
was but one mess camp to teed about 7U(i
men, and believe me it was slim feed.
They issue canteen checks and I bought
a carton of cigarettes, sold them up town
and had one square meal on the money.
The other day when we moved we had
soup, a small piece of corned beef and a
slice of bread. At dinner we had soup
and bread. I was hungry enough to eat
anything, but did not say anything.
Some smart guys have gotten in bad by
talking too much. A fellow got five years
for saying something unpatriotic.
I was on guard for twenty-four hours,
two hours on and four hours off.
With love to all,
Julian.
