Well Al I had a 20 frank note on me and I asked Sargent Avery if he wouldnât like some champagne and he said no he wouldnât. But that didnât stop me Al and I got all I could hold onto and then some and I snuck in last night after lights out and I donât know if anybody was wise or not but if they are its libel to go hard with me and Capt. Seeley said something about the fireing squad for the next bird that cut loose.
Well I reported sick this a.m. and they could tell to look at me that it wasnât no stall so Iâm here and the rest of the boys is gone and I am waiting for them to summons me before the court marshall. But listen Al if they do like Capt. Seeley said you can bet that before they get me I will get some of these birds thatâs been calling me Private Valentine ever since Saturday night.
