Rhe fact that tho folks back home"
are remembering the soldiers, and
goes on TO tell Of some OF the activi-

letter follows:
The officers Of this regiment are
taking a two weeks course of in-
struction, three months was gener-
ally the time for this Instruction,
but we are crowding 10 into two
weeks. so you can see that we have
no tiEe TO lose. This is Sunday.
therefore 1 have lime 10 answer your
letter.
II wish YOU could see the officers
operating a field piece, getting site.
ranges, detection, etc. and operat-
ing the breech mechanism; IL would
do YOU good 10 see the earnest way
in which they do their work. We
are also doing a great amount Of rid
ing. and il surely takes "A good horse
man 20 go over the stumps. through

der branches and between trees.
You would think that none could
get through alive. but so far no one
has been hurt except on the tower
extremities. which is very notice
able when an officer attempts % sit
down our instructors never ask
us how We feel but take as through
the same instructions day after day.
Through this riding we are pretty
well callOused and can sit on a chair
straight
"Our work is very interesting and
very hard. You no doubt realize
that turning an infantry company
into a battery means a great amount
ct study and labor and persever-
ance. So il the people at home do
not get letters as often as they like,
we hope that they will know we are
thinking OF them but have no time
20 write.
THE officers ard men of this regi-
ment surely appreciate the kindness
that is shown 10 them by the Cham
