Camp Grant, Oct. 24.

Friend Al : Well Al this was Liberty Day and we had a parade in Rockford and they was also some ball games out here and that is the boys thought they was playing ball and everybody was crazy I should pitch for one of the teams but in the first place I didn’t feel like it would be fair and besides I figure its bad dope for the officers to mix up with the men and play games with them and etc. and thats not because I think I am any better then anybody else but if you hold yourself off they respect you that much more and I have noticed that Capt. Nash and the lieuts, don’t hang a round with nobody only themselfs and when it comes to the majors and colonels I guess they don’t even speak to their own wife only when they are danceing maybe and step on each others ft.
