L never slept better in my life

off the minute the blanket was
rolled around me. By the way,
the old sergeant even came along
and showed me how to tuck my
self in-according to regulations
so that l would be securely
protected from the cold night
air, and, likewise, so that could
unroll and get into my clothes

Will write you a few lines be-
fore starting to work and tell

feed too, practically the same as
that on Thanksgiving day
lSome kind ladies, through the
~. M. C. A., helped bake some
cakes, pies, etc. and it was a
great meal and I enjoyed and
appreciated it fully.
i After dinner a bunch of u:

ling, ending up at the S. and 5
IClub (Soldiers and Sailors) wher'
we greatly enjoyed another en-
tertainment and received NOR
gifts of tobacco, candy, ETC.. ant

Dear Folks -
Invited out to a dance tonight
but have little cold and it i:
awfully damp, and the street:
are muddy, so l have concluded
to stay in the Office and will
write you again.
You notice the date-the 3lst
and last day of 1917. It has
been just two months since l left
Hoboken, and more than two
months since I've heard from
you all. Each day l expect a
letter from you, but each day
brings disappointment.
Practically all of the boys are
getting letters from home and
one fellow in our Office got let.

cember 18th.
I'm wondering why in the
dickens / don't hear too. Pm
sure you have written me but
can't account for delay.
Well, I've been working hard
and haven't even thought about
the holidays. Tomorrow, how
ever, we will possibly take half
day off and l expect to get out
and chase around.
Last night bunch of us were
invited for tea at the home of
Princess Murat. Of course we
went and had a real nice time
too, and we are going back next
Sunday night. The Princess is
a beautiful woman, very socia-
BILE, and we chatted with her
quite little.
Some of the boys who were in
training with us at Watervliet
Arsenal have reported here in
the last several days and will
work here also.
Don't know if I have ever told
you about my roommate or not. |
He came from Waterv1iet also,
and we have been together ever
since leaving there. He is a /
