The news of the first Meade county
boy to die at the Front for the cause
of Liberty was received in Meade
Tuesday morning in letter stating
that Lieut.. Scott Lennen had sue
cumbed to wounds received in action.
A letter was received some time
ago from Scott stating that he had
been shot with a machine gun bull
let in the abdomen on the sixth Of
June, but that the bullet had not
been extracted as it was giving him
no pain, also that he was considerably
bruised about the back and hips and
was suffering from infection and it
is understood that the actual cause
of his death was from that infection.
The deceased was twenty-six years
of age and was a graduate Of Drake

been granted degree in the spring
of 1917.

Dearest Mother and ALI:
! wonder how all at home are this
morning. l am fine and dandy, but
rather sleepy. I have four hours
duty each night and work all day.
Yesterday was Sunday, and it rained
all day, and all night last night.
All that had time to do yester-
day was to shave. We have a real
nice dug out, that is if there is any
such thing as a nice dug out. We
have three pet kittens. The kittens,
rats and mice keep US lots of COM
pany.
We have some very exciting times
here once in awhile. When the big
guns get to roaring they shake the
earth like an earthquake. We have
some wonderful air battles. 1t is
great what they can do in the air.
l had a letter from Shields and
Matte the 18th. Shields said the
wheat around Sedalia looked fine. l
hope the dear old U. S. A. has good
crop this year so the boys over here
can have lots to eat. We have to
have lots to eat to stand the grind.
Well, dear ones, l must close now,
but will write as often as conditions
will permit. Write me real often
and take good care of yourselves,
and don't worry about me as l will
be @. X.
Lots of love and kiss.

mother is tonight. All right, I hope.
I received your letter of May IA,
and Ida's registered letter last night,
and was so glad to receive them.
I wish Kansas could have some OF
the rain we are having. The mud is
half knee deep and we 10 not need
it at all.
know the new church will be nice
I will be home some day to go to
church there. My, l do wish l could
eat fried chicken with you, but it
sure means lots to be here and l am
glad l am one Of them; but, mother
l don't want you to worry about me
for I will be a good boy and come
safely home to you. .'
My candle is getting rather short
and must get some sleep, SO mus,
close. Write often and take gooo
care of yourself. Lots Of love and
kisses. '.A
