Dear Mother and Dad,

I am now stationed in Camp Livingston, Louisiana with the 86th Infantry division--I and about 5000 other A.S.T.P. from Fort Benning. All these stories I heard about how lousy Camp Livingston is--is so much baloney. It really is a very beautiful camp - much better than Benning. The food is better then the food I recieved at Benning.

That burn I sustained at Benning a few weeks ago has healed up. the skin is a little red around the burned area, but this will disappear with thime.

I came down here in Pullmans. This was a surprise, because I had expected to come down here in a crowded troop train. It took about 24 hours. Inclosed Leo will find the divisional insignia. Love, Harold
