Page 17: January Sunday 26,, Camp FranklinStrange noises during last night from my fat friend who occupied no.15 with me. This morning while dressing I noticed he wore two pairs of suspenders, one being for his drawers, a corpulent necessity. After breakfast changed my quarters and, as I thought, for better. But couldn’t stand that. The dinner scene capped the climax. After that I packed up my traps and footed it back to camp, feeling that this side of home I know only one place that is trustworthy. Unless I except Mr. Heall of Washington. His kindness will not be forgotten by me. |
