The Civil Veteran

THE MAIL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

(Ed. Note--The Crimson does not necessarily endorse opinions expressed in printed communications. No attention will be paid to anonymous letters and only under special conditions, at the request of the writer, will names be with-held.)

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

I guess it ain't very often that you get a letter from a Civil War veteran, is it? Well it wont get any oftener, not with the years flying by like they do.

The reason I wrote you was I wanted to tell you what I think of these bells they keep ringing all the time. Mr. Editor, I ain't heard nothing like it since I was a boy on the farm. That was down in Maine, though. Anyway, these bells seem to ring whenever I feel like lying down and taking a nap. And they are a nuisance, sir, a public nuisance. I want you to print this letter in your newspaper and maybe that will do something to stop this confounded dingle-dangle for thats all it is. Truly 'yours.'   "Veteran"

Ed. Note:-

Since the CRIMSON has received so many letters on this same subject it feels sure that this communication from the "Veteran" expresses the universal opinion adequately.
