The Letter to the frOnt

If you haven't written it, write
it now that letter to the 'front.'
1t is the most important corres-
pondence you could possibly
have. 1t takes precedence over
any business arrangement or so
cial appointment. Some lonely
man in France is waiting for it g.
some man who will turn aside,
feeling unspeakably, if the mail
bag comes in bringing communi-
cations from home for his COM
rades and nothing for him.
And make it cheerful letter!
If you expect him to pack up his
troubles in his old kitbag while
he is living in a ditch with shells
ululating overhead, then set him
an example of good cheer amid
your minor worriments at home.
Is there any grievance against
Fate YOU can possibly have to
compare with the discomforts
and dangers he is enduring for
your sake? Don't plead with
him to quit the service to which
he is honor bound and come
home to you a gutter and a
Stacker. The real soldier says
with Lovelace of old, II could
not love thee, dear, so much,
loved l not honor more" Let
your missive establish the home
ties and abridge the distance in
the same spirit of loyalty your
soldier is proving. Show him
that You steadfastly help to pre-
serve the morale here in the
home land; that you are pa
triot and a soldier, too: and be
brave as he is brave.
A letter to the trenches is not
a lifeless bit of paper inscribed
with writing fluid; it is a vital
link between here and there it
is bond of communication, a
prayer, a token of affection that
is unfagging. Do not think that
because it deals with matters of
the house and family the man to
whom it comes will not care for
it. Amid whatever things may
be lurid and spectacular, hideous
or cruel. he wants to be brought
back again to the living room
with the books, the yellow lamp
and the evening paper; he wants
to be reminded of the romping
children in the nursery at even.
