wanted $9,000 for a new church building and $16,000 for the Wenatchee Methodism have begun to think I got up here and become lost or something equally as bad has happened, but the fact is they are keeping me busy from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. and not much time to write. I am in the supply game as usual and sure have plenty to do. Just a little different than the old company. There are about five hundred men to hand out socks, breeches and shirts to. Some of the birds even think we run a laundry and want to give them clean clothes for dirty ones. Most of the fellows are from the east and a whole lot different than the western boys, although they are a fine bunch of boys. Some times one comes around that thinks he is hard boiled but yours truly has learned a little of that and can use it when necessary. So far I have never been able to get out to the trenches, but am in hopes of making it before long. Have been looking out for some nice souvenirs but can't locate much of anything. Just received a letter from Noyes and they are comparatively well. One of the latest rumors is that we are to go to Russia. Russia goes with me as long as I have to stay over here. France is growing old now.
