TO the BRYANT SERVICE CLUB:

Thanks a lot for the Christmas remembrance which finally caught up with me. It is good to know that the ties that are made while attending BRYANT still hold good and that no matter what the Army does to make it difficult to locate one of its members, the mail finally does get through and reaches its destination.

I am now at Camp Phillips, Kansas and while the wind does howl over the plains the weather has been very mild, especially after reading how severe a winter the East has had.

Thanks a load for the Camels and best of luck.

The Infantry School
94th Division
Camp Custer, Mich.

October 10, 1942

Dear Sir,

Hello, Bryant, from Michigan.

Your most useful gift of cigarettes had quite a journey before reaching me at Camp Custer where I am stationed as a 2nd Lt. Infantry.

I was assigned to the 94th Division, a newly activated unit of the Army and I can assure you that all the men here really anxious to get going, finish off this business, and then get home to our friends and families.

Again thanks loads and hope to hear from you again.

Keep up the good work,

Duck
