Letter From Private Adams

The following letter has been re
ceived by Mrs. John S. Adams, of
Fishing Greek, from her son, Private
John S. Adams:
September %, 1918.
Dear Mother:
:. will endeayor to drop jou d few
lines, hoping that when they reach
you they viii find you and papa in
good health. l have not heard any
thing from home for quite awhile, as
my mail has gone to the Company's
office, but will later be sent to the
hospital
l have a slight wound in my left
hand, but nothing to amount to
anything. l Will be out again in a
few days. l never had to be kept
in bed, can walk around anywhere,
SO if any of the fellows write home
that I have been hurt, don't worry
about it, because my wound is mi
nor one.
All the time you people are work
ing to help the Red Cross, remember
that the Red Cross is helping your
boys, and all otner boys, for they do
all they can for us. I appreciate the
way the nurses took care OF me.
When you answer this, send the
letter to the Base Hospital, and if
l am back with the Company 1 will
get it. I hope l viii be back with
the boys soon. Don't worry, mother,
l will be alright for you know God
cares for all.
Your loving son, JOHN.

Leonard's hands were badly stained
from hulling some black walnuts. On
Sunday he celebrated his birthday, and
just as the guests We're seated at the
