Mr. and Mrs. John L. Kline .received
the following letter from their son
Douglas who recently entered the
Navy:
Goat Island, June 7, 1917.
Dear Folks: I suppose you have
gotten the letter and card and the
package I have already sent you. I
am getting along fine so far, but I
do not know how long it will last as
I was '. vaccinated for typhoid fever
and smallpox today and when they
begin working I suppose I Will be laid
up for a day or two. There are
about 700 more men here and it is so
crowded we have to sleep on the floor.
I got a complete outfit of clothes,
which includes three suits of clothes,
two of them white and one blue. 1
gave away all of my dirty clothes but
sent my mackinaw and my suit and
shoes home and I suppose they are
there by now. Don't talk about the
fine California weathor as it is colder
here now than it is in La Grande. The
s'un does not show up until about 11
o'clock on account of the fog, and the
wind blows quite a bit. The hospital
corps is on top of a high hill and we
get a fine view of the bay which sur
rounds us (this island is not in the
ocean but in Frisco bay). We see
the shops and ferry boats pass and
have seen two battleships, a Jap
cruiser and the other the "Old Ore
gon." There is a fine class of men
here and only a few rough-necks. We
have been working on the rock pile
this a. m., regular work with the pick
and shovel. This p. m. about 200
rookies, including me, wentdown and
got aforesaid vaccinations. The food
they give us here is all good and well
cooked. Yesterday wo all got brick
ice cream made with three colors;
Gee, it was good. I suppose I will be
on the sick list for a while, as my
arms are Iready starting to swell like
the dickens. If I don't write for a
whilo you will know I am on the sick
list. Tell Charlio Mulkey to write
to me. I would like to get an Ob
server once in a while if you'will send
them. I lost my camera and by the
time I had found it, my other stuff
had gone so I will ship it later.
I and Vinton Forbes got a tent this
afternoon so we can have some place
to call home. We will sleep on cots.
We only have one blanket and I have
to sleep with part of my clothes on.
Was my name in the paper when I
left? I would like to have a copy of
i the paper if it was. Please write as
often as you can and have Vern write
I too. If you want, too, you can send
mo the American Boy as I would like
to read it every month. I can t think
of any more to write at present but I
will write often. Tell all of my
friends hello for me and tell Ruby to
write to me once in a while. Well,
my arm is as stiff as a board so I will
close hoping to get a letter from you
right away. With love and kisses to
all I remain,
Your loving son,
DOUGLAS.
