1 Camp Colby July 5 Dear Mama We are spending the day in camp for the first time since we reached here, that is this
is the first whole day we have stayed in camp, for there has been so much to see so many places to go. I have just finished
lunch, it consisted of ten biscuits, seven pickles (small) a big plate full of stewed dried apples, some flour bacon grease?
gravy a big dipper full of strong tea without sugar (sugar has given out) am still living feeling as happy and healthy as
a mountaineer should so is Helen although she also ate a lot of ham besides all the things I did. This morning was spent in
washing clothes visiting around camp now I am lying on a bank of pine needles under a big yelow pine writing this letter.
How I wish that you could be here for it is a fine place to rest be lazy in as well as to walk in. 08552
