There IS one boy in Richmond who will
ever hold in fond remembrance one OF
the soldier boys.
The boy IS Master Gordon Kelley a
bright and interesting lad of twelve years
of age. and tho soldiers name IS Lee
Legrean, Of Dapville.
Their friendship dates back from the
time when the soldiers were at Camp
Lee: for it was here that Gordon became
acquainted with the soldier and would
visit him every day at camp until the
soldiers were 5Id5:ed TO Camp Alger.
This was a sad day for Gordon. as his
countenance showed after he had returned
from the depot on that memorable Sun
day on which the Third Virginia Regi-
ment left Camp Leo for Camp Alger.
About q week ago G0rd1n's mother as
sisted him in preparing and sending TO his
soldier friend a nice little box OF edibles
and on last Saturday he received letter
from his friend thanking him for the
box. and stating that he had also sent
him a little token OF friendship. You can
imagine Gordons surprise and Joy when
on yesterday tho postman delivered him
little box containing two soldier but
tons and a nice little silver watch
