company to regimental camp to work
in the bakery at Lind Vista, Cal.
The captain would just as soon part
with his right eye as one of his men.
He stalled around for a little bit
not knowing just who to send, when
he happened to remember that he had
three men in the company on temporary
transfers (this is where I come in) He asked
co clerk Becker who they were, and they
were read off to him. He thought a
minute, and then said who is this man
Lyford, (you know that's me) Becker
described me to him, and he said you
are not going to send him are you?
The captain said no, he is one of the best
men we have in the company. Becker told
me that himself. Oh, there is some class
to me. I told Beck I was going right
in and ask the captain for a raise.

I was some what disappointed
with Salt Lake. I always had an idea
that it was a pretty place, but it is
just the opposite. Tell Mrs. Marsh I
am going over there in the day time
