trip out to Camp Zachary Taylor to see
some Of the boys from home.

them than thought wonld and the,
seemed to be real glad to see me. OF
course they were all bubtling over with
Enthusiasm over army life and all talk
Ing at once asking me what I knew a
bout everybody at home and telling me
all about their new life.

see all those soldier boys and particular
~ the boys from home l tried TO reni-
ember a little of what each one told me
so could write it down and send to you.
thinking maybe it would be of interest
to the folks at home.
What seemed to me one of the fun
NEST things was what Coleman W heat
ley of Harmed had to say. He said 81
wish had been born in the army. We
have great time You know was vac
cinated and it made me awful sick and
/ gave up to die and even tried to sell
off my old clothes before passed away
but didn't, SO now have gotten better
and feel fine and dandy 3"
~ have never seen any one as crazy
a56ut Army life as Don Smith, he says
of any one likes the army better than

man.

would be nice for the girls TO give their
sweethearts feather pillows for souvenirs
from home. they might have swee er
dreams sleeping on them instead OF straw
pillows. Floyd said, "when Paul Lewis
comes, am going to meet him at the
scnute"
A funny chap. is Hubert Livers from
Irvington. He apparently had more
money than the other fellows and l
h card him say lie would have more if he
didn't have so many holes in his pockets.
Another Irvington boy, whom ia ked

his washing and when he went TO wiring
out his shirt, he must have thought he
was wringing the neck of the Kaiser,
