Dear Ann

Well here I am at last. Don't get so excited when I don't write as often as you expect me to. Lots of times I can't write. We don't sleep in the camp one quarter of the time now. We have been going out on problems lasting from three days to ten days ever since I got back.

My outfit has already left on a months maneuvers in Colorado. A few of us were left to guard the property in camp for a week and then we are going to join the rest. So if I don't get a chance to write again for a couple of weeks don't think that anything has happened. It will only be because I can't get a chance to write.

I thinks I will still be on guard the fourth of July but Monday I will have off and I will celebrate it then. I haven't had a chance to get into town since I got back off furlough.

There isn't much I can write because the only thing I have been doing is building roads and bridges then sleeping in a tent at night. I'll say so long and I hope to hear from you soon

Your brother George
