Excerpt: ...course its harder to borrow pipe tobacco and cigars but Im tryin to show the fellos how bad cigarets is. Pretty soon Ill be all O.K. again. I got that watch your father sent me for a New Years present. Tell him thanks very much an not to feel bad because he forgot to send me a Christmas present cause this wipes out the debt entirely. He said it was a military watch an the latest thing out. I guess they call it a military watch cause it works two hours and stops four. Its the latest thing round here.

It may be that shell have me sent to Fort Silly to learn somethin. You cant tell. "I SAT NEXT TO A COLONELS WIFE I cant think of anything more that you would understand. Dont show these letters to kno one. There is to many spize around. I...
