"Gentlemen: I am enclosing a let ter from France I received today, February 4, the very first news I have had since I received on Novem ber 19 a telegram stating that my son, Marion H. Thompson, had been killed in action on October 7. I wish you would publish it in The News and Courier and ask that The State and The Manning Times copy it." The letter from R. A. Fulp, captain Company E, 118th infantry follows: Record of a Fearless Man. "Somewhere in France, December 26, 1918: "Mrs. Thompson, Olanta, S. C. "Dear Mrs. Thompson: I will here take the privilege of saying a few words in esteem of your son Marion II. Thompson. Ile was a member of this company, Company E, 118th in fantry, and one that we are all proud to boast of. "Your son was a soldier, absolutely fearless and one who could be de pended upon in any emergency. When there was a call for volunteers for dangerous arduous tasks, Marion was always the very first one to step for ward. Ile had not an atom of fear in his whole being. On the other S' hand he was so fearless that his very presence put courage in his comrades and gave them strength to endure and do things that they would have flinched at had not such a noble ex ample of fearlessness been set by your son. Ile is one of the men who have helped so much in making for this company the enviable record that it now holds. "I was often on duty with your son and have never found him lack ing. At one time there was a very im port: .it message to be sent to brigade headquarters, and the route lay through a shell swept area. Marion volunteered to deliver this message and bravely carried it through a veri table hell of shell-fire, safely deliv ered it anl returned smiling, for any other task that awaited him. At an other time there was a party goin, up to take part in a raid on the German trenches. The commander of that party started out and there was Marion right with him asking if ha, might go along. I could cite to you several cases of the bravery and will ingness of your son, but these two ES will give you an idea of his work. Gave Evidence of His Strong Patriot ism.
