Well I didn’t know then what was comeing off so I just layed low and I didn’t have to wait around long and all of a sudden a bird from the Colonel’s staff found me in the parlor and says I was wanted right away and when I got to this room there was the Col. and the two Frenchmans and my captain Capt. Seeley and a couple others so I saluted and I can’t tell you exactly what come off because I can’t remember all what the Colonel said but it was something like this.

In the first place he says “Corporal Keefe they’s some little matters that you have got to explain and we was going to pass them up first on the grounds that Capt. Seeley said you probably didn’t know no better but this thing that come off this a.m. can’t be explained by ignorants.”
