three A.M.
Your package arrived and I was delighted . I think I slept better last night on your little pillow than any night since we were called out . My pillow before was your sleeveless jersey . It 's after three A.M. and I 'm on guard -- that is , battery guard , and I have to be up from midnight to reveille , not on a post , but in my tent , so that if any of my men -LRB- I 'm a corporal now -RRB- , whom I relieve every two hours , get into trouble they can call me . Non-coms . go on guard once in six days , so about every sixth night I get along with no sleep . We have been ordered to do away with all personal property except shaving outfit and absolutely necessary articles .
