Columbia, South Carolina

 

Hi Nancy!

            I am writing on the moving train.  We are in South Carolina 2:30pm – dirt has been sifting through the windows the whole time so I am just black now with no place to wash in this old train – we are having some meals considering we had no dinner – just stop and pick up box lunches and go on.  I’ve had two hard boiled eggs,  2 bread pork chops, 2 oranges, French fried potatoes, all the cold and hot coffee.  Lunch, cake, 2 apples, 3 sandwiches, cheese and meat and peanut butter, a lot of swell guys nearly all 19-20 years old.
