It seems like one of the boys had a birthday and his folks is well off and they had sent him some jack from the states to buy blankets and etc. with it and he thought it would be a sucker play to load up with bed close when spring was comeing so he loaded up with something else and some of the boys with him and for 50 or 60 franks over here you can get enough champagne to keep the dust layed all summer and of course some of the boys hadn’t never tasted it before and they thought you could bathe in it like beer. They didn’t pay no more tension to revelry this a.m. then if they was a corps and most of them was at that and out of the whole bunch of us they was only 7 that didn’t get reported and the others got soaked 2 thirds of their pay and confined to their quarters and Capt. Seeley says if they was any more birthdays in his Co.
