boots and a velocipede in each of our
socks? We need the velocipedes to
go to classes and if we don’t get the
boots we’ll all be webfooted by April.
For myself I’d like to have some
cold cure, too. I haven’t been able
to smell a test tube since Nov. 1st and
I’m about to flunk all my chemistry.
Thanking you in advance,
I remain,
Dooly Hardin, Maj. 3rd Bn.
P. S. Maybe you’d better just send
Nunez a Kiddie-Kar. He’s already
webfooted and I don’t think he could
learn to ride a velocipede.
