Hunt I There has been some spinal meninI pitia among the boys up here but you ; need not be uneasy, as we have the s very best of attention and every ef fort is binp made to stamp it out. We are under quarantine now, thoill'h V>,.nn nr. r... o,. c in I my company. g When a case appears in a company I? the sick man is rushed to the hos- I pital and his whole company moved Dj to the woods and kept isolated until |Q all danger of other cases is past. U There was one case in Boyce's company and they are all now quar- I antined in the woods, though they ap- I pear to be having a good time. |B Do not worry about us as we are i |l sure everything is going fine and the R disease is about to be stamped out.

He |G is getting on alright and there is not E iinother sick man in our whole com- E pany. The whole company is still R under quarantine. I have not been | ' on the drill ground in over a month, i Don't have to do a thing but eat, sleep and sign the payroll. Am hav- j ing the easiest time I ever had in my . life. We have plenty to oat, but I can toll you I was uhid to not that box. j I was also more than triad to get those blankets also, though they have issu- ' ed me one more since I got those.
