four mile march completed in less
than fifty minutes.
Assisting Commanding Officer

have the company as a part of his
regular infantry.

Gentlemen: I have been riding
your busses for the past 8 months
and the service seems to be getting
worse every day. It is my opinion
•hat the service you render is worse
than enjoyed by the people of 1000
years ago.
Very truly yours.

Dear Mr. Jones: First 1 want to
thank you for your patronage. It is
refreshing to know that we have
people in this country with your
tenacity. It is my opinion, however,
that you are somewhat confused in
your history. The only transporta
tion one thousand years ago was on
foot.
Hoping that our service will im
prove to your satisfaction. I am
Very truly yours.

Dear Sir: In answer to your let
ter of Feb. 18. 1943, I believe you
are the one that is confused in your
history. If you will read the Bible,
in the Book of David, the 9th Verse,
you will find that Aaron rode into
town on his ass. That, gentlemen,
is something I haven’t been able to
do on your busses for the past four
or five months.
Sincerely yours.
Jim Jones. Pfc.
