Written on back: Cp. W. F. Penny Btry D. 42 F. A. Camp Custer, Mich. Oct. 22. '18. 11. a.m. Dear Eva, The interest of the camp is out of quarantine. I am moving back to my Btry. this p.m. Am feeling fine. Will call Stickney's up Friday night about 7 or 8 p.m. but if something should happen I couldn't get there I will call Sat. p.m. say about 7 or 8 p.m. The Quarantine is not so we can leave camp on a pass yet or civillians cannot enter except with a pass. I hope very much this finds you all well. Yours with lots of love Willard.
