About twenty of us went over to the quartermaster's storehouse and sure enough the boxes were there.

He took a book from my box called "The Collegians of Ireland," but I said nothing, for if I did, he would not let me have it at all.

My box contained one large sweet cake, tea, coffee and sugar, salt, pepper, writing paper and envelopes, two pairs of drawers and shirts, which I needed badly, stockings and several other things very useful in a place like this.
