He’s Doing His Bit.
France, Nov. 1, 1918
Dear family: /
How are you all getting on by this
time? ,Well I hope. I am getting
along fine and am fattening, guess
you all won’t know me when I get
home. I am still at the Base Hos
pital helping in the hospital, and eat
ing plenty to fatten a pig. Have asked
to be stationed here to help wait up
on the sick and afflicted. It isn’t a
very pleasant work as you know, but
when I think of God’s words and com
mandments, I feel like I could do
more my duty by doing this work than
any other way, and in that way it is
a pleasure to me to help here. I get
to see boys from almost every State in
the Union, but I haven’t seen but one
from old S. C., I think he is a first
lieutenant. He seemed to be glad to
meet one from his State.
Guess you have about finished gath
ering this year’s crop. If not. hurry
up find finish before I get home, for
I will be out of practice, and it might
be too cold to learn how. Guess the
weather is getting cold by this time.
It isn’t so cold here, have only sat by
the stove about one day, but it is
cloudy and raining most of the time.
Say, when did you see my girl? I
haven’t heard from her since I left
the States. Do you all go to church
much ? I haven’t been to church since
I spent the day with Mrs. Parker in
Columbia. Guess I will close for I
have not any news to write, just
thought I would write a few lines, for
I know you are always anxious to
ear from me. Might write oftener,
it is some time hard to get sta
tionery. Trusting this will reach you
soon, and find you well. Bye, Bye till
till next time. As ever a son and
brother, 1
Pvt. Willie R. Bell.
