two other items recalled later.
     1. Among the men sent from the 8th battery for overseas duty was a first lieutenant named O'Donahue from New Haven. He was a big, handsome Irishman with a small pointed mustache, rather
prosperous- looking and somewhat foppish. He stopped over in Washington on the way north and there picked up a woman called Mrs. Nugent. She was slender not particularly beautiful but well
dressed and attractive in a quite way.  She was staying in New York with O'Donahue. He wanted to get away from her one evening and induced Guthrie to entertain her. She went with three
or four of our party to dinner in Chinatown, at a place called the Chinese Delmonico's. She was the only woman in the party. I recall,
coming home in the subway, that she seemed a rather pathetic figure. She had apparently become fond of O'Donohue who in my opinion, was a rotter. He appears once later on in this narrative.
   

2. On my last evening with Edna , she offered me a choice from a Table full of  her photographs. I took one which she autographed with anappropriate expression of sentiment - I kept in until 1921, destroying it with a few other incriminating relics just before I was married.
