POEM
BY HON E BOY

Now lay ma down to sleep
Grant the Lord my gun to keep
And may no other soldier take
Shoes or sack before wake
Lord please guide me in my slumber
And keep this cot upon its lumber
And may no pegs or guy ropes break
Or let tent down ere | wake
Keep me safely in thy sight
Grant no fire drills tonight
And in the morning let me wake
Breathing scents Of sirloin steak
Relieve me from all work and drills
And when m sick don't feed me pills
And should | break this hand of min,
Do not dope it with iodine
And in the snowy feather bed
Is where long to lay my head
Far away from all the camp scenes
Also the smell of half baked beans
Take me back into the land
Where you can eat without band
Where no thrilling bugle blows
And where women wash the clothes.

often receive letters from the dear
ones that we left behind waiting

am most aware that this is a

you, but nevertheless | am doing
it at any price and | hope and
trust not to make this the last let
ter either. We are very proud OF
captain and he seems to be proud
OF us, and we shall never be a.
iraid to do our bit when we are
led by such leader.
The captain tells us that he ask
ed you and others to send some Of
the NJ etropols News Papers and
| have noticed that he has never
received any OF then to this date.
have often wondered what be-
comes OF them and why he does
not get them in the mail. Fer
fear that some OF his friends know
him in this regiment and have
been robbing him at such places
as to leave him without such COM
forts | would kindly ask y ou TO
!. try and send one in my name and
maybe that would give us some
clue as where these loop holes
were.
This leaves US well and hope
that you and our loved one IN
the name of Miss Bernice are en-
joying the best Of health, and
we'll do we know that you and she
will gladly welcome US on our re-
turning to the state and our sever
al homes. We may be lucky but
have not had even single death
in our company since we have
been in the service, and all OF the
men act as il they were brothers
and such as quarrels and fights a.
mong themselves is thing of the
past. know DO one to give such
credit as 10 the manner that the
men get along except | give it TO
our captain, and that has come by
such treatment he has rendered
his men.
We have at times some very in
teresting games OF sport and |
would have you imagire seeing
him in game OF leapfrog, or
pitching horse-shoes with enlisted
men and him with all OF those bars
on. and some of the rank higher
has noticed these things but at any
rate something has brought about
a brother-like love or friendship
in his company and all is we'll.
livery often get letter from
my wife and sonnet ines | get
letter from some friend of which
are very consoling to soldier in
land of many. do not wish to
worry your patience by writing a
lengthy letter, but there are many
things that | would like to know
and when we return | shall try
and come to see Miss Befnice and
you and all OF the rest OF my
friends.
Thanking you for such, lremain
