Dear Folks:
must drop you line or two to
tell you the good news. as 1t was a
great surprise to me and / think 1t
will be for you.
III i remember correctly think
told you that our companies were ex-
pecting to leave for the rifle range
at Annapolis on Nov. 9Th, so I'll tell
you a little about the trip and some
OF the results.
We were called by our bugler at
$3.50 o'clock Wednesday morning-had
an early breakfast and prepared our
tents and packs for the trip which
took us until o'clock before we were
ready to start towards the Union de-
pot at Washington. Our packs only
weighed about 60 lbs, but they seemed
about a hundred and fifty by the time
we arrived at the station; due to the
fact that ii was our first experience
in carrying our packs, even though
they were about thirty pounds lighter
than they will be when we are on the
other side.
