Dear Pa and Ma:—

BOREN-STEWART CO.
I have just come back from going out on a Millinery Sketching trip,
which is going out on a hill side and setting down and drawing of a lot of
pictures which don’t look like nothing when they are finished. A feller gives
out the section and you look it over and try your derndest to make it look
as much like the thing as you can which you can’t. They is allso some rode
mapping which is not as hard to do, but pa, I can’t see where no pitchers are
going to help us win the war.
We go out daily and take up a position about five or six miles from the
camp which I don’t see any use in sents we could of took up one just as good
only nearer.
I went out the other night into the town and when I come back in I found
that a feller had furrowed my cot and left it standing in! the middle of the
tent, which you will admit is some stunt for a feller to play on another feller
at twelve o’clock at night.
Pa, I want you to meet Mr. Corp. Frick of Battery E 132nd F. A. He is
the nicest looking man in the regiment and all the girls in Ft. Worth come
out in there autos ever day to take him around. He sure is a nice man.
Pa, confidenshal, I have got into some inside dope. Them Germans is
got us going. They can’t get us with a gun so they are going to choke us
to death with them dam gas masts. We went out today and put them on
and choked and smothered for about a hour or two. I don’t know whether
we was putting on a show for the dern lieutenant or whether we was being
attacted by the Germans. Anyway, I figger I had rutherJbe gassed than to
have to ware that dem thing a hour.
