Friends have asked for boxes from home, and now wants to do the same. Asks to have the box ready as quickly as possible, within a day of the delivery of this letter if possible. Says to speak to Max Cadwell to see when he sent his box down. If they send the box express mail, it could arrive at the regiment in the next day or two. Asks for boots. Gives specific specifications for what kind of boot he wants and what size it should be. Asks for the boots to be "two sizes larger" than they think they should be for unexplained reasons. Also wants to make sure the boots are high enough. Also asks for, among other things, tea, walnuts, a soap box, and more envelopes.
