Ambulance Company 347, Camp Pike, Ark.. Jan. 15, 1918. DEAR ED :- - Vfell Ed, here we are still at Camp Pike, and it's nearly four months since we left Topeka, we sure thought then that we'd be in Berlin by now. There are seven new men in the company now, and there's sure a lot for them to learn. Uforley wore his leggins on the wrong legs for a whole day without noticing anything wrong! XYell Ed, we were all young once. We had a great spread Christmas day-turkey and trimmings, and Christ- mas Eve we had a celebration in the barracks, with the jazz band going full force, and stunts, and a Christmas tree, Carl Linge drew six weenies, and Carl Byers some chewing tobacco! Say, you'ye heard about perpetual motion, Ed. XVell that's what our Edi- son is, that the College sent us. Wioody Smith plays the Pussy Cat Rag every minute he is off duty. Some dark night, that record is going to be step- ped on-accidentally. Say, did I tell you about Louis Smith? He had some hard luck last month. He is one of the buglers of the company, and be bugled with such force that he had a blow out and had to be sent to the hospital to be patched up. There have been lifty lirst class privates appointed and those who are still bucks are busy with alibis. Most of them claim that the names were placed in a hat, and fifty drawn out. As yours truly is a first class, he doesn't believe it. Say, Ed, just in strictest confidence, I heard a fellow say yesterday who knows a major's orderly, that he had heard a high authority say that the 87th divi- sion was the best in the country, and also that the Sanitary Train was the most efficient part of the division. just between you and me, it's common talk about Ambulance Company 347 being the best in the Sanitary Train, and of course, Ed, you being a friend of mine, you can draw your own conclusions about yours truly, me being sort of modest, and not wanting to say anything bold. W'ell there goes tattoo. Yours, PETE. 23 .1 .1 as l I i l i l
