In this Letters From War Wednesday, let’s revisit “Dere Mable” and Private Bill.
“Dere Mable:
“… Everythings covered with mud includin me. I seem to attract mud like I was a maggot, Mable. Yesterday I spent all the afternoon shinin up for guard sos to be the Colonels orderly. Then I step out of the tent and flui. The sargent says, ‘Smith dont you know enuff not to go on guard lookin like that?’
“I even got mud in my hair. Max Glucos says when he combs his its like rakin out a garden. From what I seen of him though I dont see how he found out.”
