few remarks about the boys.<br />
Our new skipper<br />
Captain Ralderis, and Lieutenant Parker,<br />
both formerly of the New York Cavalry, are<br />
making 86 willing soldiers of the 86 men<br />
the company.<br />
We welcome Captain Ralderis<br />
and Lieutenant Parker. Much pep shown<br />
since their arrival. We are safe in saying that<br />
we now have the best little mess shack to be<br />
found in the division.<br />

territory but drop around and look us<br />
over.<br />
Ceiling and sides painted pea green, floor and<br />
seats camouflaged<br />
as mission furniture. Large<br />
double 100 buck stove installed.in the kitchen<br />
and we are now going to fatten up on flap<br />
jacks, cakes and pies (?). I have an idea that<br />
the officers' mess shack will be put in the discard.<br />
incinerator.<br />
Fifteen foot cement floor all around the<br />
sanitary inspections.<br />
We should stand 100 per cent on<br />

a roof garden on top of said mess<br />
shack for the summer months. We are open<br />
for<br />
the loan of some one 7 s Jazz band. _ Address<br />
offers to Corporal Burns, as he has<br />
charge<br />
of all issues.<br />
