Tells How Deven's Boys Wrote En-
dearing Note to Al Kolodney.
Camp Devens, Mass.



April rs, 1918.
Hello, Josie:
Say, girl, I have got some great
news for you. My company, you know
it used to be G of the sol till they
changed it to D, 800 Machine Gun
Battalion, is coming to New Britain
on May 2, and is going to give an en-
tertalnment and dance, and you can
believe me it's going to be some party.
The boys have been working hard for
the past week and have some fine
songs. Our quartet is a dandy and
you will say SO when you here them.
You remember Walt Campbell, he is
a Corporal now. Well, he is training
the boys now and they are singing,
That reminds me of something that
happened last night after STABLES.
Walt got the bunch together back
of one Of the barns and they started
singing. In a very short time every
mule had his head over the corral
rail listening Md when someone
made an awful discord, they are just
practicing now, you know, every blame
mule started to bray and Campbell
had to move his bunch way over in
the lots. Guess the mules though it
sounded familiar All joking aside,
though, girl, the boys will put on a
| great entertainm
If you happen to see AL Kolodne y
| this weekend, ask him how Grace
| Deering is and watch him blush. Last
| week some of the boys were over in
| Still River, a little town near here.
| and they sent a card to Al signed
/ Grace Deering and stating that she
| had seen Al a number of times in
| Aver and would like to meet him
Al sat right down and wrote letter
! but 1T was returned to him a few
| days later and he has been the butt
! of the company ever since.
Well, will write again in a few days
| and let you know more Of what Is
| happening.
