This was written on a bale of hay which
isnt a very good desk.

Dearest Neiwah: -

This company is on guard
today, and I was elected as one of
the four corporals, I was lucky
enough to land the special
guard detail which guards the
hay pile. I dont know how
many (just busted my pencil) bales
of hay there are in this stack but
there is sufficient. The corporals
with the main guard have to stay
awake at during the time
their relief is on guard, and wake
up the new corporal and his relief
when it is time. Then they have
to walk all around camp and
