end friend* that I have not had the
opportunity to write to, I will write
a few lines which I hope will reach
the Tribune and through it reach
many of you. I lived in Rabun
county two year* near Wolfcreek
church, where my father was
rained. Ten year* ago I left there
and went to Texas where my fath
er lives now. Two yean ago I
thought nothing would suit me bet
ter than to be a soldier, so I enlist
