C., July 29, 1918. Dear Minnie: I received your letter O. K. Sure was glad to hear from you. I am well1 and hope you all the same. Hope papa is getting along all right. I got a letter from Nettie today. She' said papa was not so well, but I hope' he is better. Tell him not to worry i about me any more than he possibly c m. Minnie, they are going to trans ivi me Buiiicwiiure, i ta n i icarn where, but will write you as soon as I 1 get to where I am going. Don't ans- i wer this letter till you hear from me again. Well, I went out to the or- < phanage Sunday evening to see Nez- < zie and Fred. They are well, except a little trouble with their eyes, and I ] think they will soon be well i Minnie, there was a boy killed him- } sef out here the other day. He had j to come and leave his mother and ; sister alone, so he took his razor and | cut his throat and died almost in- $ stantly. , There is an observation balloon ? out here. It goes up every day and < the other day it went up above'the i clouds. I bet the men that were in j it felt. fnr u wViSl.. , 8 "Well, have you been to the meeting } any yet? Wish I could be there to r go, but guess I wont get that privi- 1 lege. Tell Buck his watch has gone i on a strike and won't move a peg. ] Guoss it doesn't like being in the ? army any more than I do, but I can't v quit like the watch did. a Tell Churlie Swink I just got his j letter. He sent it to the 22 Battery j and it got lost. But it finally got v here and 1 will answer it when I get to '"here I am going. Well, are all the watermelons r gone? Wish I could be there to eat some more. I haven't had any since I was home. Gee, it sure does seem like a long time since 1 was at home. Out here the weeks seem like months .' and the months like years. When Sunday comes it doesn't seem like Sunday any more than any other day. Some of the boys do their washing on Sunday, but I don't do anything only J what I am made to do. Well, I was over to see Jack Turn- v age and the other boys the other ;; day. They were at the 39th Co. Depot Brigade, but since they have been a moved over here in the artillery some- g where. It is hard to keep up with . theni they are moved so much. I b don't think Jackie likes the army l much from the way he talks. I don't i suppose anyone likes it very much. h When has Willie heard from Allie? How is he getting along? Do you h know where Paul Rivers is now? I s . don't. t? Nearly all the boys had to work tj last Sunday for not having their bunks ready for inspection Saturday e morning. If we just lay our knife a or fork wrong we have to do extra 1 duty. I n^ver have done extra duty ii since I have been here. I am some what lucky but guess I will get mine li by and by. j I hope when they move me I will ? get to some good camp. I wish they v would let me stay here so I wouldn't ii be so far from home. I guess the crops are looking fine f since the rain. We are having lots of rain out here. Well, I guess I had better close for this time. Tell everyone hello for me. Tell Eva I will write her next time. When you hear from me answer it soon as you get it and tell me all the news. I am, as ever, Your loving brother, v LUTHER T. HICKS, f ' .! Frank P.

Was glad indeed to heai ? from you and to know you were all ' well. Evan and I are well and satisfied r , that we are going to get the Kaiser, j Our rest camp did not last long be- i fore we were called to another front < where we are hnving a very lively | time at present. 1 have about come i to the conclusion that there is no rest camp for us, and I have got to where 1 don't care about the mat pjimn ?r??l Lite limes, for wo ull are getting more interested in what we are doing toward entertaining our enemy and believe nie, we are giving them a warm time. We. have plenty of artillery and when they open up at night, it is like being out in an electric ston-i. '1 hey were raising Sam this morning so bad till I could not sleep for the concussion of tha guns thnt were near me. 1 got up and went across to one that was about twenty yards from me, which belonged to the French. It is a five-inch gun, 1 fired it once for them, and when it went off 1 felt like I had killed uvo hundred of those dirty Huns, while I hope I killed one thousand, I did not , get to it but once for my frionds Br i' 4 were all wanting to take a crack at them. I think we are giving them all just a little more than they can stand. 1 will close with love to u!?, Your brother, FRANK Following 's another letter from Frank P. Vaughn to his father: Co.

Melton has received the | following letter from his son, Roy: With the American Army In France, July 12, 1918. Dear mother; Just a few lines this afternoon to ci ><?u kiiow Dom 01 your sons are living and doing well. It has been very rainy t'or the past few days and the ground is very wei but it has cleared olf now and the sun has come out and the wind is drying the water up very fast. It is very cool; the boys have on their overcoats. Guess that seems queer to you all as it is so hot over there. Well, Pierce got the old Chesterfield paper yesterday afternoon which was May 30, it just took it 1- days to get to him. But you bet we all were proud to see it. Tell Dad I read his letter in it and I also saw a letter from Jessie Wallace. Poor boy. Wish he knew things like we all do. Did, he would be in good heart but I guess he has lost all hopes, but there is no use, for every cloud has a silver lining. Doesn't it, mama. Well, mama, Press Gulledge is a .Sergt. now. He sure is a smart boy. I have no news I can write. Everything is moving oa very nicely and all the boys are O. K. and we get plenty to eat, wear and smoke. And go with our faces washed, hair combed and wear clean clothes and shine our shoes, but they are like the little fellow's nose was, thoy won't stay shined. I've got one letter from you all since I came over to the show but I've decided you all just thought it would be all O. IC. if you got a hearing from us that we never did care anything about hearing from you all. | well, now you know you all could have gotten us a letter over here by this time if you would. Here's a group of some of my pals and I. Well, give my love and best wishes to all and kiss little Robert good night for me and write if its ever so you can to your? ROY. Carl Gntkin* Mr. T. W. Claskins has received the following letter from his son, Carl: Somewhere in France, July 7, 1918. Dear mother and folks: Just a few lines to let you hear from me. I have not heard from you all, but do hope you all are well and just as happy as it is possible for you to be. I want you all to be happy and not worry about anything. You have no need to worry. We can get along so much better if we know that you are not worrying. You have an idea what our task is and you know that it is no play job. It is hard work as you know, but you also know that your boys are used to work, have always taken care of themselves and if our health holds out as I hope it will, we will get along as well as any of the boys and what others can do we can do. So don't worry at all. Keep a smile on your face all the nmc so mai 11 will fie Mere when we net back. Don't forget that we love you more and more?it is for you that we are here and for you that we , are going to stay until the end. The noise of battle don't drive away thoughts of home. 1 have heard the roar of the guns and seen the fire flash. But it will take more than that to drive thoughts of loved ones and home from my mind. Do hope that you have a real good crop this year. I guess that you will be feathering it when you get this letter. Wish I had some of the good old peaches that you all are eating. Guess I'll have to think of them and smack my lips this time, but hope to eat thkm next time.' Now once again, let nie beg you all to save. Put up all the canned goods that you can for if you don't need them someone else will. When you write tell me if you are putting up the stuff. And if the crops are good. I would like to hear all of I that. Give my love to all of the people.. Be sure to give it to Mrs. Kate and folks and Mrs. Lottie and folks. They have been so good to us boys. Tell Madge and Louise to be real good and learn to sing and play all that they can. 1 want them to sing a lot when I get back. Hope that Grandma and Pa are well and getting along all O. K. Don't forget to give them my love. If you don't hear from me for some time don't worry. I may write ! and I may not. Love to all, your son. CARL. i . ? .. . . Sergt. Fred Huneycutt R/ Mr. W. R.
