They Appreciated the Dinner

As evidence of the hearty appreciation of Mrs. Granger's kindly thoughtfulness for the comfort and enjoyment of our absent soldier boys, the following extract is taken from a letter written by Sid Bang, of Co. A, to his sister of this caity:

"Oh, no! I didn't do a thing to that Thanksgiving dinner. I actually ate so much that I abhorred the sight of camp grub for two days. It was the finest meal I ever sat down to, and when the waiter showed me the bill of fare, I politely told him to bring it all in, and I guess he did. Turkey, saddle of bear, prairie chicken, etc, etc.

"We had some money left of this fund, so our company had oyster soup for supper two or three days after this, then in a few days more, we had fried rabbit - half of a rabbit to each man. "Pretty good, wasn't it?"
