w.re !, rs in Aiken! - Could render these
thanks more gracefully than by giving th2m
thus verbatim
Since beginning, have shifted my seat ore
dozen times to avoid the Smell tf onions;
fried onions, boiled onions, raw onions. What
are the horrors of war compared to fried
onions. Imagine the "chivalry: feeding upon
onions! Almost every ono devours untold
quantities, and my fingers blush to their very
tins rs record this grievous wound to corl-
mon decency. Camp life is really delightful,
There is nc. more sin among the soscr boys
,hon in social life--not SO much by far. But
,hcp tie sin in Camp is without any grace.
What ii!y it is that 81 few people kn"" how
TO sin with proper regard for Tie 5fsssse"ccs'
How much of the siufulness Of sin Is tesea
away by SHINING gracefully!
