Friend Al : Well Al here we are out somewheres in the middle of the old pond and I wished the trip was over not because I have been sea sick or anything but I canât hardly wait to get over there and get in to it and besides they got us jammed in like a sardine or something and four of us in 1 state room and I donât mind doubleing up with some good pal but a man canât get no rest when theyâs four trying to sleep in a room that wouldnât be big enough for Nemo Liebold but I wouldnât make no holler at that if they had of left us pick our own roomys but out of the four of us theyâs one that looks like he must of bribed the jury or he wouldnât be here and his name is Smith and another oneâs name is Sam Hall and he has always got a grouch on and the other boy is OK only I would like him a whole lot better if he was about ½ his size but no he is as big as me only not put up like I am. His name is Lee and he pulls a lot of funny stuff like this a.m. he says they must of thought us four was a male quartette and they stuck us all in together so as we could get some close harmony. Thatâs what they call it when they hit them minors.
