Postmark & Message

Postmark: EAST MACHIAS, ME circular cancellation, Jun 14, 1917

Message: Don't forget Brine's Bill. This is a very good view of the camp. It's a great place alright with all chances of swimming, canoeing, rowing, baseball, sleep and eating. I'll let you know later how I like sleeping in tents but believe me it won't be like home. I have five blankets and two rubber blankets to keep me warm and dry. Carl
