Letter From Camp Merritt Describes Measles Illness and Army Life
A soldier, Robert F. Ouelette, writes from Camp Merritt New Jersey after a transfer from Camp Mills Long Island. He recounts a measles scare aboard a hospital ship near Hoboken, adjusting to unfamiliar companions, long travel across the United States, harsh heat and sunstroke risks, and his lean toward the prospect of returning home as Allied efforts press Germans. He mentions nearly no familiar faces, discusses overseas caps, and asks his mother about crops and rain.
