journal the following anecdote:
A resident Of an adjoining town some
years ago received letter 50 badly
written that he could decipher no part
Of it except the signature, which was
that OF a well-known Belfast lawyer.
The recipient Of the mystery took his
pen in hand" and decorated page OF

hicroglyphics. signed his ,iame plainly
and mailed it to the lawyer.
He met his legal friend on his next
visit to Belfast and the latter said:
Say, Bill what did that pesky scratch

Dear Mother. Father. Sisters and Bro.
How are you all? I received a letter
from Gladys dated Oct 18th and very
gladly to know everyone is o. X. have
been worried about all OF you on ac-
count OF the epidemic Well dear folks
the war has finally come to an end and
the credit is due 10 the Yanks for their
brave lighting. The French people just
adore the Americans. 1 suppose the
people in America just about went wild
when the news was received.
1t is Just . o'clock a. m. and l am sit
ting in an old French home near
Amiens. If you notice the map you will
see about where I am located. I am
sitting by the fireplace writing this on
a box, and an ammunition box at that.
but. OF course, 1t Is empty. Ny COM
pany is out on parade and I was ex-
cused on account of my feet being sore.
The reason for my feet being that way
is. am wearing a pair of Tommy
shoes and they are made like a box, so
my feet are blistered. It is no wonder
Charlie Chaplin has big feet. all these
Englishmen are the same.
Well. the rumor around now Is we are
going 10 England and pass in review
before King George on the sth day OF
this month and then we will aboard
ship and sail for Gods country, the good
old L. S. A
The division ] am IN which you know
is the 30th Div. IS known as a very
good one. We have been used as a
shock division" and take it from me
they sure did shock the ferries. Our
division was the first TO break the Hin
denburg line on the goth of Sept and
II was hot battle. This sector OF the
line was supposed 70 be a very difficult
point. General Haig said no troops
could have taken it that knew the situa-
ton of the line. But our boys went on
even though we lost heavily. It was
the most thrilling moment OF my life
and I guess II put couple OF years on
also.
Gladys. you say you haven't heard
from me for about four weeks. l guess
that vas during the time of the drive.
Well, don't think you will receive
many more letter from over here" for
we will be sailing soon. All that I hops
Is that all of you keep well and happy.
Give my best regards TO all the relatives
and friends and tell them I will be home
soon. Hope all OF you are we'll. With
love and kisses and Gods blessing.
Loving son and brother.
