The Da dies Try to Cut the Buttons off Their Blouses for Souvenirs,In a postscript to’ a letter ito hisbrother, Arthur, In this city, Mr. JohnG.-Grigs, now at Montauk Point withthe Rough Riders, writes as follows:“I need nothing, old boy, except to get home. Uncle Sam and the people of the United States are sending us all sorts of good things to eat, etc., tout I am already getting tired of the fuss Everywhere we go we get cheered, bands play “Hail Columbia,’' etc., the women want you to give them souvenirs, even to try to cut the buttons off your blouse and, while they mean well, It’s not exactly my style and at times I feel positively sheepish and, While I am trying to look unconcerned, I feel like a darn fool. Anyhow I hope soon to be back again in our old shop in quiet comfort. With love and best wishes, I am as ever, your brother,JACK.”
