LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIERS

Ernest Harris Writes I'rom Texas Border. Frnqß.t Harris of Remington who is in Company H, 3d Infantry, "Trrne§"’ T his sister from the Texas border, and says: Candelaria, Texas, January 10, 1919. Dear Sis, —I received your letter and was sure glad to hear from you. I received your Christmas boxes O. K. They sure went fine because we are not getting any too much to eat out here. Everything has to come to the camp on pack mules. The trucks . cannot get within 20 miles of our camp,

so you see we have been up against it ipretty hard. I think we will get relieved in about ten days, for everything has passed off fine. The Mexicans haven’t made a raid on us for a long time, and I don’t think it will be long before we get our discharge, perhaps the first of February. The weather here is fine. Oats are about three inches high and everyone is getting ready to plant corn. Well, Sis, I will have to close as I am on guard duty tonight and this goes out in.the morning. The •mail comes and goes every four days. Your brother, ERNEST HARRIS, Co. H, 3d Inf., Marfa, Texas.
