Cowboy Band,
Grangeville, Idaho,
Dear Friends:
Through the constant thoughtfulness
and generosity of mothers and editors
we are getting a generous issue of
Grangeville paper every time we get
our mail Mother sent me a clipping
which I received yesterday, it consisted
of a picture of the Cowboy Band and
the prospects of the trip you are expect
ing to make this year. AS an ex-mem-
Der you cannot imagine how it made me
feel, nor can tell you. 1t was a
mingled sensation of sorrow that 1 could
not be there too and feeling of happi-
ness that our band was going to take
back there, back where they
lust imagine a lot of wild things. L
never knew we were so wild out there
until we were sent to Charlotte, N. G..
There they expected to see bunch of
men that we could not imagine at all
when they heard that western troops
we're to be stationed there so if you
find that someone is staring at you
rather hard don't imagine your shoe Is
united or your pants are torn but re-
member that you are something strange,
a man from the west. 1t will be more
distinguished party when you start
