warm here, ] think it must be a warm
climate. Is papa getting good crop
Of hay?
We have seen lot since we left home
and can tell you more when get home

husky fellows.
We had a fine trip over and I was not

writer, in nearly five years, entered
at the age Of 81; he had younger
brother, entering at age II. in the
same company and the same cam

evidence of the powers of endurance
of the one over the other. The truth
is. this excessive talk as to the
boys" is the cry of 'the Stacker"
who, fearing he himself may be

and he be spared. But there are
other and more weighty reasons
against conscripting the boys under
