At last have received something
from chum about war matters—
two papers last night, Advertizers, and
a letter this morning. Drummond is
doing everything he can for me, chum [?]
is active. My classmates are waking
up to the subject.
This afternoon have answered
chum’s note. This forenoon went
out foraging—got five hens for 50¢
three quarts blackberries for 15¢.
