Leon Parisy: Well, Mr..
Ellis, do miss the Coupon cigar
cites q lot, they do not have them
ehre nor any place near by, but since
you as kme about what / want to
smoke, we'll, it's them. 1 would like
to have a few views of post cards of
Covington and Vaudeville if there is
chance to get them, and also The
st. Tammany Farmer would be nice
to read when we are out on the sea
and have no place to go, but / may
be asking too much, but l would
rather the views of old ST. Tammany
and its towns most of all. And Mr..
Ellis, I want to thank you for re-
Numbering me, and will do all l
can to help this country and the dear
folks of St. Tammany.
Charlie Hearn: We are
we'll fed, clothed and fed here. but
all of us miss our papers and read
ing matter. So if the people want
to do that much for us l am sure all
of the boys would appreciate the
home paper. would prefer The St.
Tammany Farmer and any maya
zines that are good, as we have been
in quarantine most OF the time since
here, we don't have a chance to get
those things. II any one has Pop
ular Mechanic Magazine that has
been read would appreciate that as
Picayune cigarettes.
Chris. F. Schultz: l thank you
for writing me. At the present time
/ am not in need of anything par
ticular. 1t am at present stationed
at the Receiving Ship here at the
Naval Station and any mail that is
addressed to me to the above adj
dress will reach me o. X.
l use the Camel cigarette, and
would like to have The St. Tammany
Farmer sent to me.
l certainly do appreciate the fact
that the folks at home remember US
boys who are away doing out bit for
our country and home. 1T makes us
feel as though there is nothing that
we cannot do when we get cheerful
letters from the folks back home
cheering US on and making us feel
that even though we are not at home
their thoughts are with us.
It Is certainly good movement
that you are working on and l hope
that it is kept going for there are
lots of our boys who are at sea and
and where a cheerful letter means
whole lot to them.
Morris E. Lewis: The st. Tam
many boys have been moved from
time to time until don't know
where they have gotten to, with the
| exception OF two or three that are
still in Camp Pike.
You ask il there was anything
especially to read that wished. I
will say that l would surelp appre-
ciate The st. Tammany Farmer. AS
to reading matter in general, we
have a good Y. NJ. C. A. and can get
anything we like to read.
Norman ]. Dubourg: Now
Mr.. Ellis l certainly appreciate the
St. Tammany Farmer if you would
be 60 kind as to send it to me week
ly, and l also enjoy smoking cigar
now and them, which we cannot get
on board ship. This is wonderful
life, and I must say l am we'll sat
isf1ed that navy life is just the life
! for me. l wish l could have joined
| the navy four years ago, and may be
would he a man of better ability
and character. The navy will surely
make a man out of you if you stick
to it.
| Bryan D. Burns: In answer to
yours l wish to thank you most sill
cerely for your kind offer through
such a loyal and patriotic organiAa-
tion as you as chairman represent.
l am sure that every st. Tamma A
ian will appreciate the good work
done by you as chairman of sacn a
worthy and generous movement
