Force. writes: although our task has
been hard at times and we have en-
dured privations, cold and discomforts
OF all kinds, and expect to endure them
still. yet we are doing our best to crush
the enemy. Your boys from America
are wonderful; they have made light
OF hardship and treated even dire dis
comfort In a way to tighten our twoes.
We can't say too much for them, and
when they even share their precious
tobacco with us you can tell how much
they have done We are as fond of
American tobacco as the American
soldier and that Is saying something"
