I am glad Herbie is still going to Ellen's. I thought he might not go out very often after Arthur taking him out of the Engineers. The camp baseball league opened yesterday. The only band in camp was out and the camp Commandant threw the first ball. I never saw such a feeble attempt to throw a ball. It never went in the right direction at all. Leslie is commandant.
