It sure was storming some when we lit out for the
Cantonments, a mile and a half away. When we got

to the Post Exchange we Caught a Kansas City car

to Leavenworth and got a good supper. There weré

@ bunch of fellows skating on the paved streets

after the storm stopped. Collins and I were a

hard looking vair when we sat down to the table

ijinen but we did justice to a good meal alright.

The Company rode only once this week as the horses
couldnt even walk on the dirt roads in the woods,
They rode this morning though and I guess it wasn't
so bad. I didn't go as seven others and I went up

to the Army Service School War College) to enroll

in the gas-engine class. It is a pretty sure thing
that the Company will be motorized like the 410th
Telegraph Bn. They have cycle-cars, a couple autos,
and a lot of big Quad trucks. I go # to the class
between 8 and 10 A. M. when the Company grooms the
horses. I dont know how long it will last and dont
feel very enthusiastic about it anyway. This morning
the Captain at the College said that nearly all the
Technical field organizations of the Army would be
motorized soon.™ Our horses will probably be turned
over to officers after we get them fixed up in good:
Shape. Some system. I should worry how it goes but
I like our horses mighty well. We sure do have great
times. Our new saddles are fine ,too,and mine just
fits Tem and I. The Company sure does look good too,
when we go out for mounted drill. We have been doing
more practical field work lately.

We are pretty sure to move South This month so
the weather will not hinder outside drill so month.
It takes an awful lot of coal to keep these Cantonments.
going. The 410th Bn went to Teas. Well I think I
better hit my little straw bunk. Dont Forget that
fruit cake; it makes a real hit here. Thanks.
