Perley Kelley writes that he, with 1300 other soldiers will leave San Franciso for the Philippines today. They will be 31 days on the trip. He belongs to Co. E 23rd Infantry and likes the service immensely. He says the troops are given a great deal of liberty at San Francisco and are only afraid that the fighting will be over before they get to Manila. -- typed by kbz
