By John Hale Chipman, Class of 1919

"September 27, Thursday, Fair, Cool, Hot and Cool. 

The mornings here are very cold now and the heavy mist makes us damp enough but the afternoons are wonderful--and dusty too where we're on convoy. 

This morning we got a call at 4:30 so we left at 5 for M. St.P. to take supplies for a nest of batteries there but it was a very quiet day.  The dust was terrible tho' but we only appreciated our water all the more when we got back.  In the afternoon we rested and read, etc.  and at night we were some tired so turned in early."
