TOUCHING LETTER FROM A GORY MEMBER
OF THE HOME GUARD.
— Broadway, Dec. 10, '61.
Dear Father and Mother:
We are getting along very well. We mess at
Delmonico's. Do not repine for your son. Some
must suffer for the glorious Stars and Stripes, and,
dear parents, why shouldn't I? Tell Mrs. Skuller
that we do not need the blankets she so kindly sent
to us, as we bunk at the St. Nicholas and Metropolitan.
What our brave lads stand most in need of
now, is Fruit Cake and Waffles. Do not weep for
me.
Henry Adolphus.
