Saving...
little suburban grocery store to buy candy, etc. I bought some sweet pickles. The country is getting better worn - nicer houses and some paint (south of Little Rock). Camp Joseph T. Robinson is about 6 miles out of Little Rock- 37,000 men there. There are 3 camps out of Alexandria - Camp Beauregard - which is the nicest (in a valley) - Camp Claiborne & Camp Livingston. Well must drop off to sleep. Hope all is well with you. We came through Claremore, Oklahoma (Will Roger's home town) and Van Buren, Arkansas (Bob Burn's home town). The creeks were all running pretty full and the water was all the way.
