Post card from Jefferson Bararacks, Mo. June 30, 1942

Dear Glenn,

How is everything in Mich? It is plenty hot here. No rain since I have been here. But plenty before I got here. The picture is our canvas ovens we stay in. 7 men in each one. Then there are plenty of barracks. Camp is 14 miles long and 7 or 8 miles wide. Plenty of men here to, about 40,000 I think. We have plenty of walking to do. Tell Neil where I am. Ask him is he's been here. Scott field is across the River about 30 miles. Well tell everybody hello. Tell Mother to write.

Bill

Background Information:
