  thinks you are, but I hardly think your first battalion

  would come close up to you for work. Many thanks for

  the field cards this week, and also your letter of the 7th

  glad to know alls well with you, hope however if you

  remain close to the big gun use will become quickly a 

  second nature & you will be able to make the thunder &

  shake of their discharge a lullaby to soothe your slumber

  a big order says you eh? Mother is constantly telling

  me the guns are going all the morning, which mean

  the occasion testing of them at the arsenal, what she

  would say if close to them as you are and with so 

  many going I don't know! Hope you got the papers

  all right I sent you. Would have sent more but

  the days slipped by and I did not go out to get

  postal wrappers, in fact I've hardly left the warehouse

  all the week long. folks I think are anxious to get a stock 

  in hand, fearful of obtaining supplies, I suppose. Our

  demand however will fall off with warm weather I guess

  - as other years, and I may get a few leisure hours to 

  relax in. 

  Have you heard from Wes - as usual he trys to whet 

  our curiosity - something has happened to bring him into

  notoriety - what it is we are not told - as he says

  some are borned great, some have achieved greatness &

  some have greatness thrust upon them" The first I can
