but I don't take much stock in the rumors. but it cant come to quick to suit me for I am getting dam sick of this tin soldier stuff. when were right in the thick of it. a man could have a button off or a little dirt on his clothes with out catching hell but now you cant. It has rained nearly every day for a week and I have got some washing out and I don't when it will get dry. I expect Earl Bentley is home by this time lucky devil but He dident belong to the army any how. but he sure had good sense. believe me and Ray and Carlos Duffy sure fell into it soft.
