You know me Ed, me and water is on Official Terms in public. Useful to put on fires, eh Ed? Well Ed, the pipes all frize up and we didn't have no water and the Missus raised an orful holler. She tried to holler at the Quartermasters but they wouldn't let her holler in their so she hollered at me. I guess she thot her hollering would thaw the pipes Qscarcastic Ed that's mej. I guess the Quarterrnastesr was so busy throwin slate into the cole, Ed, they didn't care anything about a few busted pipes. They gotta motto Ed which is Eels nay parserons Pa and means it can't be done. Pretty good eh, Ed? Sounds like you havin a little repartee with the Old Man. Well Ed, us Stoodents has a lot of work to do listenin to the instructors talks so I gess I'll have to stop now. Yures Until I. C'd. Bill. , x , 'taping a 1 f4.ii'1-ef JIM, W1 -HM.

I 'Q M f Az : ' I 924 DOUGHBDY ' Dere Ed: Well Ed I suppose I might as well start the Noo Year off rite so I'm going to rite to you Ed, not that I can help you any Ed-what you need is this coarse here Ed. You'd stop beefin about how good you were in La Bell France Ed if you had to take this coarse. Well, jan. lst came around brite and early here Ed with the same old Army stuff. Onct a year the General Stab has tu prove that animuls and men sleep best in the morning so on Noo Years they have the band come out and play all the peaces they don't kno real well at about 4:30 A. M. I don't kno about the men Ed but these tooters woke up all the anirnules which is mostly dogs in Block 23. Well the band played Happy Noo Year for a one half hour Ed, and then our noblest friend the Kaynine talked it over so I got up an made my first Noo Year Resolution, Ed, which was to kill one large bandsman every Noo Year. Yu'd better keep that ukalaylay out of site when I'm around Ed. Yu're worse'n a Bandsrnan Ed when you get to ticklin that thing. Well, so long Ed for this time. Yures Until the B Board Meets.
