Hampton Roads, Va, Oct. 6, 1918.
Editor TINES:
1 wish TO thank you for the publica-
ton OF my letter to my mother of
August 9Th. The letter appeared in THE
TINES the 18th of August while I was
on my back recovering from an opera
ton Of appendicitis. After laying in
bed after about twenty-five days. o. A.
Ham Of Hammond, a friend of mine
who ] had not seen for over a year or
more came into see me. It sure was a
great surprise TO see him and to think
that 1 wasn't the only boy Of Hammond
on that station.
No more than we had shaken hands he
told me he saw my letter in TIE TINES
and found out where l was and was
glad to see me. He had the copy OF the
18th with him and he gave 1t TO me TO
read. which, of course. gave me great
pleasure. He receives a copy of THE
TIMES every day and brings it over to
me and sure enjoy il as there is moth
ing like reading the old home paper. We
both wish to thank you as it brought
two old acquaintance together.
Just a word about myself. I am UP
and around after laying in bed for %
long days and expect TO be home in
Hammond on a furlough before long.
They are bringing the wounded soldiers
and marines from France and there are
quite g few here at this naval hospital.

From Corporal
Walter Jordan

Fort Banks. Mass, Oct. :. 1918.
Dear Mother:
Your ~anxiously ooked for letter re-
ceived yesterday. and I am very glad 20
hear that the influenza did not take a
very strong hold on you. This epidemic
has certainly caused a gerat deal or
trouble and It seems that Boston has
been one of the cities most effected. The
post is still under quarantine, which
we do not expect Will be lifted until
Oct. 18TH.
As for any definite news in regard 70
my next move I can only say that I am
quite in the dark at present. All of the
candidates may be placed in q pro
visional compan to continue the study
Of mathematic until the opening OF the
next officers training school and agar
this new regiment may swallow us up.
I am very anxious to get overseas be-
fore this war comes to q close, as most
all of the boys whom I enlisted with
are already there, and il is only natural
I want 10 be one of them, but at the
same time I should be very much pleas
ed TO receive & commission, but from the
present outlook il seems hat the war
cannot continue many more months.
However. IL is not UP to me to choose,
so whatever Uncle Sam says will be the
direction in which I will move.
Quite true, I neglected to compliment
YOU on your winning the bet and prob
ably neglected TO answer a great mum
Der of questions asked. but 1 think you
know that I write my letters in a more
or less hurried manner and sometimes
90 not have your letter before me. In
any case take II for granted that the
answer will be favorable rather than
otherwise. as I am feeling better than 1
ever did in my life, and 1 earnestly hope
that YOU will soon, If not now, be your
self again. I know that this IS a very
short letter. but tattoo was just sound
ed, which means put out the lights and
go 10 bed. so 1 will have to close for
this time. / hope that ! will be able TO
state a little more definitely as to what
I am going TO do next, in a short time.
Hoping this will find you both well and
that 1 may hear from you soon. 1 am,
with love and kisses.
Your ever loving son,
WALTER.
