tainly felt bad because of Harry. Just
before the battle Harry came to me
and we had a little talk. Harry hand
I'd me his extra pair of shoes so he
would not have such heavy load and
in a laughing way he says: If | get
shot YOU can have them" At the
same time | had not the least idea
that such thing would happen. Tony
was shot.in the wrist but the Lleute
nant doctor told Johnnie Miller that
Tony would be back in the ranks
again soon as it was not serious. Bert
la Rue pulled through all right, only
q little poor George Stupfell was al
right the last time | saw him but thai
was about six days ago. | saw George
Hart about five days ago and he Is
fine. He captured fine silver water
and chain, also a pistol from the enc
nv. But, mother, don't worry abou
vour George as he is still going ant
always shows up at meal time. Have
lost my leggings and look more like
