Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 1, 1918 NEWS FROM ALVO. A Letter From Camp Dodge. A letter from Private John B. Skinner, Co. 37, 10th Bat. 163 D.B. Camp Dodge, Iowa, to J.P. Shaffer, follows: Camp Dodge, Ia., July 27. Dear Friends: Will write a few lines this evening. Am feeling fine and dandy and hope this finds you all the same. This sure has been a very hot week though nights are fine. We are under quarantine here in Tent City and there is some bunch of men here, too. They are here from Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska and I think Minnesota and more coming all the time. There are a few Indians out here at Tent City and over at the Barracks there are many negroes. We marched over to the barracks today. The Y.M.C.A. is sure great. There are two tents on the ground and the one I am in is as full as can be of boys writing letters. They sure keep the victrola going. The boys have wrestling, boxing, etc. and movies, the Elk quartette was out and one night the military band played for us and say! Man, they made the woods ring. There are quite a few cow boys here and I see by the blackboard it will be �Broncho Busting� tonight. We had a fine trip out here Monday night. ! There were 12 coaches from Pacific Junction and when we arrived at Creston at 8 p.m. they were waiting for us with autos. We had a fine ride all over the city and then went to the moving picture show. The people just turned the town over to us and we sure took it and enjoyed their fine treatment. Must close and hope to hear from you soon. Your friend, JNO. B. SKINNER --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Free online calendar with sync to Outlook(TM).
