! S. Seston OF Bakery Company $40,
Second Division. writes to Miss VI.
Bresched For this favor OF yours as
well as for all the hndnesses shown
us by THE SUN Tobacco Fund and its
contributors we wish to express our
heartfelt thanks"
at sound mighty funny ana perhaps
presunptuous to say Dear Friend in
| writing to you" is the way Benjamin
Castillano begins his letter to Miss r.
NJ. Burns. He continues: IT don't know
how else I could consider you for all the
kind things you have done for us in
the way OF sending over smokes through
THE Sun fund. II you are not our
kind friend then I believe We are
| friendless. You may believe that the
smokes feel good. They do. blu,
still / am not satisfied. Won't you
lplease write a few lines? 1t would be
fine IL you R'ould and the letter would
do me and my chum lot OF good
Try IT,"
Castillano is a member OF Company
F. Eighteenth Infantry. He writes
from Surgalm. Germany, and his ad
dress is A. p. o. 1879,
II Is noticed that the men who write
from Germany apparently have M
doubt about the signing OF the peace
terms by that conquered country, fol
II they. did feel doubtful they would moi
50 confidently talk about their early
departure for home. 1t is likely some
expression OF intention has been made
In their hearing. or they have deter
mined from the conditions they have
seen about them during their stay o.
three or four months in Germany thai
the people are prepared to accept the
terms.
Sure to Sign, They Say.
Lieut.. ]. V. Stern OF the Eighteenth
Infantry refers to the state OF mind OF
the public in the Rhine Valley in a let
ter from Nordshofen to thank two fund
donors for sending over tobacco to Com
pany l. OF that regiment He confirms
the opinion that the peace terms will
be signed.
WILLIAM G. Duke of the Medical De
psrtment. Company L, also refers tC
| this subject in letter to DR.. Morri,
from the same place. After saying thai
he had received the donation OF smoke,
and wished to thank the donor. he says
it is "a sure bet the terms will b.
signed"
