Dear little Brother
Newtie has never heard from
that long letter he wrote you but I though you
would be glad to get another letter from me.
I am going to tell you about a nice little grey
squirrel. One day when the men cut down a big
tree there was a pretty little squirrel in it, with two
little black eyes, two little ears, four little feet and a
long bushy tail. The men caught him and took
him to their tent in a little while he got tame.
He will run all over the boys and get into their
pockets to try and find something to eat in the
morning he will go and wake all the boys up
in the tent and play around. His little eyes will
shine. I wish you had such a nice little squirrel
dont you. I hope you are well. I would like
to kiss your little mouth just once. Good Bye
for the present Your Soldier Brother
