Mrs. L. W. Gardner, of Pelion, who
is now stationed at Newport, Rhode
Island, in the United States Navy:
wrote an interesting letter to his mo-
ther on "Mother's Day. and we take
pleasure in giving it space.
Sammie Gardner was student at
Wofford College when he answered
the call of his country, being mem
Der of the senior class. Though u1l
able to attend commencement and
receive his diploma, the college per-
mitted him to be among the list of
graduates, his sheepskin having been
forwarded to him.
Tia letter to his mother follows:
}>,sNewport, R. I. May IL, 1918.
My Dear Mother;
To-day being Mothers Day I can,
not let it pass without writing you a
letter. You are the very best friend
have on earth and it gives me great
joy to be entitled to wear a red rose:
even. tho l happen to be deprived of
the roses as we'll as being deprived of
your presence. Many boys have lost
their best friend-their mother but
| am so thankful that mine is still
spared, even tho duty calls me man
miles from you. know that no mo
ther where I may 60 your prayers anc
love follows me, and many times J
may go wrong, but for this great
force which pulls me toward the right
way, and to high principles.
Few people know how much the
love of ones friends at home and es-
pecially mother counts far to one
far from home. Don't ever think l
will get far enough from you and my
other folk to still love YOU. never
knew before l left just how dear You
were to me, but as l am separated
from you farther from time to time
the more | realize how dear to my
heart you are. 1t has been and shall
be my desire and aim to do nothing
that would bring shame on you. In
the other hand l like to do the things
that would please you. J. admit tho
that have, and shall do, things prob
ably that would not exactly meet with
your approval. for if | did | would be
an ideal lad and don't claim to be
such.
| am as ever your loving son.
Samnie Gardner.
