seen it when it was
two weeks old in the
wilds of ---. It would
have made you shudder
(and it would have
scratched your face)
My cap happened to
be a "fatigue cap".
There was no reason
for me wearing it
except that I had it
on. Fatigue caps are
worn around camp
when off duty. However,
I am above being dis-
gruntled that you
should have received
the picture. I know
that you really
knew me to be
handsome, and that
no freak photo could
change your opinion!
