ENJOYED RED COSS LUNCH.

Camp Taylor, Ky., Aug. 3, 1918. To the Canteen Section of the Jasper County Red Cross. Dear Folks: We Jasperites, who now make up the first section of company 5, want to extend our thanks to you for the dandy lunch you gave us. The railroad gave us a box lunch for supper. There was no comparison—only contrast between them. Yours was so much nicer, and bigger. We sure had all we wanted to eat. We are getting along fine. I think that the boys that were sent home were all more than holf sorry that they could not stay with us. We got our second “shot” and vacinatidn today and will all be home-sick or sick tomorrow.

We are trying to make a good reputation for the men who follow to live up to. They will have to go some to do it. I think our good send off had a lot to do with "it. I know we will remember the town and "the pretty girls a long time or forever. <

Sincerely, GERALD EDSON MURRAY, (Capt.) CHESTER S. HUFF, (Lieut.) CHARLES J. JENSEN. Co. 5, 2 Bn., 159 Depot Brigade, Camp Taylor, Ky.
