cupv all the morning and In the afternoon
Ne arc free to either read or sleep and
as everything is SO quiet here we gen
orally spend quite a few afternoons IN
sleep, trying to forget all the llttle Wof-
1fes which the flesh and mind are heir to
We have guard duty to do about once
every five days and which consists of
man having to walk post and be on guard
for twenty-fOur hours and during that
time he ie responsible for the safety ana
preservation of everything on his post
The next day after being relieved from
guard he IS allowed the whole day off to
sleep and rest in, for as you all well
know, nothing is so wearing or disastrous
to a persons system as the loss OF sleep
and as the officials of the army know
ana realize this, they allow the days
rest.
do wish all the cousins could be mere
and spend a field day with us, for
am sure you would all enjoy it very much
for | know we always enjoy them.
