Georgetown, Mar. 24, 1915Dear Mother,I got back all right and things were in great shape. Nearly everyone was up for orders and three got discharged, and a bunch got defaulters.Yesterday we had a military funeral for some fellow that had been in the Crimean wars. We had a firing party of twelve. I was one of them. We had to go at the "slow" march from the station to the grave about ¾ of a mile, and reverse arms & so on, then we fired three volleys and drilled the rest of the day. I had a letter from Dandy & he says there is nothing doing over there at all.I am eating at the McGibbon House now. The boarding house hours didnt fit with ours so we all came up here. It is a good change.We have 2 boiled eggs, porridge, toast, milk, potatoes for Breakfast and Turkey and roast beef & veal for dinner. It is worth $5 per week. To day is pay day again and we have to be there by one o'clock so I guess I'd better hike, or I won't get any. My shooting is improving. I got 3 "bulls" and two runners making 28 out of 30. Well Goodbye for now. love to all.Gordon.
