Camp Coburn Augusta

Brother Ed,
I will write
you a few lines to let
you know that
I am now in this
hole of hell waiting
to be Discharged, we have
got to stay here till
after the fourth of July.
we have got to March
through the St. of Augusta
fourth.
[page 2]
I should not care
if it got burnt up.
and I hope Camp Coburn
will be.
I guess we shall be
out of Servis by the
tenth of July.
I am well.
from your brother

Frank Cox,
