Letter from Ralph w. Shaffer

We are permitted to extract the following from a letter from Ralph Shaffer to his mother. "Hurrah, the box of good things to eat came today! Just ought to be here about supper time tonight Am not go- ing to wait until dinner tomorrow as 1 can't stand to see anything like that set around, and besides some of the boys have boxes coming tomorrow so we de- cided that we would eat mine for sup per, and theirs when it comes tomor- row, cause gee, we are so hungry all the time and it is such long time un- til noon tomorrow
 II am feeling fine but am not bit in love with this climate. My! how I would like to be with you all tomorrow, but even if am not there in person you will know am thinking of you and know you will be thinking of me, too. Don worry about my covers because have three that the government issu- ed besides those you sent, also you know we are issued bed sacks and we fill them full of straw and they make a fine tick. My tick is filled with a half bale of straw and when I get in just mire down until you can hardly find me.
 ''I can't think of much to write cause I can't keep my mind off of that box of goodies. Gee, but it is long time till supper! Give Dykes my regards and also all the rest of my friends who ask about me. "
 Ralph enclosed the following poem, saying, "Them's my Sentiments. 7"
 A BOYS TRIBUTE Prettiest girl I've ever seen
 Is Ma; LLoveller than any queen
 Is Ma.
 Girls with curls go walking by, Dainty graceful. bold and shy, But the one that takes my eye
 Is Ma.
 Every girl made into one
 Is Ma
 Sweetest girl to look upon
 Is Ma.
 Seen 'em short and seen 'em tail. Seen 'em big and seen 'em small, But the finest one of all
 Is Ma.
 Best of all the girls on earth
 Is Ma.
 One that all the rest is worth
 Is Ma.
 Some have beauty, some have grace Some look nice in silk and lace, But the one that takes first place
 Is Ma.
 Sweetest singer in the land
 Is Ma.
 She that has the softest hand
 Is Ma.
 Tenderest, gentest nurse is she, Full of fun as she can be, An the only girl for me
 Is Ma.
 Bet if there's an angel here
 It's Ma.
 If God has sweetheart dear,
 It's Ma.
 Take the girls that artists draw, An all the girls 1 eyer saw, The only one without flaw
 Is Ma.

 Tt seems so long since 1 have re- ceived a copy of the Tribune that if were it not for the fact that 1t is my home paper I am sure that 1 would have forgotten all about it before now. lam always anxious to hear from the folks at home and will appreciate 1t very much if you will send me the Tribune to my new address. l have been transferred three times in the last month, but suppose that l am at home now-until the war is over.
 When the Second Ark. Inf. became the 142nd Field Artillery We had a large surplus of men who had to be transferred some where, and about 225 uf us were sent to the l53rd Inf, formerly the First Ark.

Some others of our boys were transferred to other companies in the 142nd but as far as l know none of the others had to leave the old Regiment.
