My -l?car Mrs. lMylor ; By the time thin letter reaches yi|U, you shall know in all probability . what happened to "Hill" 00 Friday l?*t wheu In' went missing over the Haw. 1 have boon hoping that we wonltl be able to obtain some tiding* from the other side or from M)iu?4 of our own units near that poiut on the linea and tonight we hoard indirectly that a maehiue with al lied color* wrh Keeii to laud allright that date iu enemy territory somewhere, I have never been able to thiuk that he is killed. 1 feel certain that ho is Quite allright and that through the lied Creaa or some way we will be able to write you very soon advising you that he in allright. We know , for certain that he had the add rem of the International Hod r?;otw, Geneva, Switzerland, iu hi* pock et and he may have cabled you thru thut source ere now, , I insisted that ev cr.v nttitvr avail himself of their service* should he' be forced to laud In German territory. It haw been a terrible shock to the boys t*? lose "Bill" fron* the squadron. He was a general favorite, and aa an iudication of our confidence for ua all, we were about to elect hiin mess preai dent. He was a member of "C" Flight and as, such loyally helped to make that flight what it is. "And now 1 must . toll you w;hat a wonderful showing your Ron made iu the combat when he went missing. "0" Flight was entrusted with the mission of going o\it to eaoort back to ih?r lines two large and slow reoonnoisance ma chines. They arrived at the rendezvous^ about four minutes before time, just soon enough to see the two reconnois ' aijee .machines coming, but surrounded by at least ten amall fast enemy ma chines. "C" Flight swooped down upon the enemy from "in the 8un" and taking the tfnemy completely by surprise shot three of them down and scattered the others in all directions, enabling the l)hotographic machines to get back with valuable information. Something must have happened to "BillV engine caus ing him to land. We cannot lead our selves to Relieve that he was shot down. Certainly hi* machine was intact and under control when last seen. But you must understand, Mrs. Plyler, that In a big fight like that, where all are trav elling at such a terifflc^apeed, that it la practically impossible to watch out for other machines . and consequently the other pilots did not observe Lieut. Ply lor's machine go down. It is terrible to lose him from Our squadron, but if he is safe you will have the consolation of knowing that as a prisoner of war he is safe until the end of the war, when he will come back to you. I know . that he will not relish life in n German prison camp, but I cnii assure you that he will be quite comfortable, as I know %?veral officers of the Royal Flying Corps who, while not being fed lavishly, are wholesomely pro vided for and comfortably housed. 'And now let me point out, Mrs. Ply Jer that as a n ai' of confidence in your son, and as a irwmd for good work I had officiality recommended him for promotion juat three days before the un fortunate scrap. Knowing you will bb interested in all personal references, I must tell you that just before he went up T caught his hand and. said. "Now. Bill, remember, keep moving if you get into a scrap, keep inanoeuvering and it will be impossible for them io hit you and you will he able to .got them." He replied with his usual jolly smile. "I>on't worry. Major. I'll bo allright. and weshrdlu onuon u I'll be allright." And we know that he is allright. and we are certain too, that the Huns are not going to get any in formation from him either. I)o not be anxious, Mrs. Plyler. Have no worry. Be proud of the fact that yon have the honor of being the second woman in all the TTnlted States who had a son in an American squadron fall on the other side of the line in aerial ? engagement. (Capt. Hall ,waa taken prisoner the other day, he was the first.) . , { ...
