Dear 'ncle and Aunt: I will try and do(0) you all a few lines to let you all hear from me. This leaves m in the hospital. I was gassed on the 18th of October and I have been here ever since. I was gass- i ed Ill my eyes, an( breast. and was burnt in several places. My eyes are so weak how that I can't hardly, see, -'Iut tiruly hope these few lines will reach and find you all well, and en joying .the best of health. I sure wish I was over there. today,, but may be it -won't be long now before I can be back again. I guess you all can see how everything is by the papers. I can't see to read a paper. I don't be lieve r will ever see as good as I once did, But I hope so. I guess you all had turkey for dinner today, for it's Thanksgiving. We had pork, roast, c'4l'hage and turnips. Jt wasn't so bad. T have a lot to tell yotu all, hult I can't DutI it in here so I 'will have to wait until I come home. Ilow is Grandmother? Tell .her I 'n id h1llo, and 'I think T will get to see h-r l-fore long.
