We had inspection for pay today, which includes inspection
of knapsacks and equipments. After inspection and pay, I went down town on a
pass and purchased a portfolio1, a paper weight and a pocket knife
for army service.
1This portfolio, together with my Bible, I
carried through my four years’ service. — A. G. D.
