make you sit up and take notice. I might say we never had a casualty. I haven’t seen any of the 15th boys since I wrote last so don’t know how they made out. but I believe they had about the best fait of the line. So I hope they all all jake. Jackson is pretty close but haven’t seen him yet. So you sold Kate. You say you hope she comes into our outfit. Well I hope not. the A.S.C. or some thing like that for her. It is a shame to send a mare like her up here. I don’t mean shelling and that stuff. that is not so bad. it is the weather and the way they got to stand out in tit. Have you got a chance to sell any of those others you asked me about yet. You asked me if Earney talked to me about have a presentment he was going to get it. he sure did not. he was very quiet but others that had seen him since he came back the second time said they all found him very quiet. did he write to any body talking like that. It seems funny for he only had to go up the line when he felt like it. his place was at the dump and I would of thought if he was feeling that way he would not have gone up. he sure used to go up a lot more then he had to. he certainly had the stuff in him, and any body that said he got cold feet over here don’t know what they are talking about.
