SOLDIER'S LETTER.

The following letter was received from Private Cnaries E. Sharp: Mercedes, Texas 1 November 5, 1920 Dear Editor:— Please change my paper from San Benito to Mercedes, Texas, as my squadron has been moved. I On October 25 we were called to make a patrol down the Ko Grande to a place called Reia Honda Pass and were to meet a squadron of Mexican cavalry and of course we thought we were going to have a battle. But when we got there we met the first squadron of the Fourth "Cavalry, and were to have a sham battle to, see what the men would do in a pinch. We sure had a good ; time. I The most of our men are just . boys, from sixteen to twenty years 'of age and should be in school. If the war would break out with ' Greasers we would have a panic in the army. 1 lam proud to say that lam with I the best troops in the 4th cavalry and that is dear old G troop. I We take everything from a good drill to the sweep-stakes, and we sure do need more men, all we can get. Tell them all to come to G troop, for it is the best on the Border. I am as ever. Your Soldier Fried, CHARLES E. SHARP, * Troop G, 4th Cav. Mercedes, Texas.
