COMPANY "E" NEWS .
Mr. Editor:
jVhat are the charges against Co."E", AWOL or desertion ? . We
hope it is A,VOL, and would like for our sentence to be very light,
as we can’t write very much, it takes time off from talking.
It seems to be the opinion of some of our quiet soldiers that
the silent manual is not very silent at present, and should be
silent only on the parade-ground. I agree with them, as one man
will give the command while on the parade-ground.
Sgt • LaLonde and Corpl. Colburn report Juneau a very quiet
town, except that it's wet in spots.
Corpl. Loftin, the bear -hunter, has great plans for a hunt and
killing for Mr. Cushion-foot. How does the weather look to you,
Corp . ?

soon, he needs ’em. He says he does, and I guess he do. He orter
know. Bet he don't git 'em till Uly.
