IN THE MAIL:
Jack Swacthamer(?) writes from Camp Hale in Colorado: “The Mountain Troops, for me, are very wonderful. I’m happier in them than any place else. We are a tough outfit, and not every one likes it here, just because of that. It’s difficult enough to live in this cold, and this height. But to fight in it is quite a job.”
NOTES:
Jimmy Jamison has been given permission to arrange a chorus for Christmas music among the patients at the Brattleboto Retreat, in Brattleboro, Vermont, where he is an attendant in the infirmary.
