Here I am on seven days' leave, living the life of Riley. We are up in the mountains at a fashionable resort, eating three square meals a day, sleeping between white sheets and the poor chumps back with the company are eating their bacon and beans and sleeping wherever they can find room. The last battle we were in was a dandy. The papers say it was as hard sure is 'looking good. To look at his face you would never know he was hurt. He stall haa botib of hia arms, but the right is paralyzed from the elbow down, but they say he can go to a nerve specialist and they think it can be cured. The left, where he had the bone grafted, is so he can use it nicely, but it did not grow straight, "fie sure is enjoying life at that. When I got out there they were all sitting out in the shade smoking.' He also had his skull fractured, but that is as good now as it ever was. You cant notice it unless he pulls his hair back. He also had his left ankle broken and besides he had the bone grafted out of the shin on that leg and now you can't notice a tiling in his walk, so that is all in fine shape He has been in bed only twenty-nine days and that was on account of his ankle. He says that he did not know a thing for four days after he was hurt and then he woke up and found as any "that has been fought in the, himself in hed.
