Often think of you dear mother.
And my heart is sad with pain.
All this world would be heaven
Could hear your voice again.
The midnight moon is beamng
Upon her sodded grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming.
The one we could not save.
Mother, dear, we miss you still.
Although it was His will,
Our love for you remains the same
And never will be changed.

Two years ago, dear daughter,
You left our happy home.
Where we lived so long together,
But now we are all alone.
Two long and dreary years have passed
Since God reclaimed his own.
Took back his all too precious gift
And left us all alone.
Out in the lonely grave yard.
Down in the lonely grave.
There they laid our darling daughter
Two long years ago to-day.

We have been up to the front now
several times and have had very good
luck so far. There are three Terrell
county boys here, all from Dawson,
and am glad to say we are all glad
we came when we did, as we have
seen and learned lots in the eight
months we've been cover here" Yet
we expect to experience lots more
than we have up to now. Am still
IN the medical department, and am
glad to say l still like the work we
have to do. | do much first aid dress
ings and l enjoy helping the boys.
We will have so many things to
tell when we return home and every
thing is happy once more. l know
people at home cannot realize how
things are here, for if they did they
would be more patriotic. The guns
keep US awake at night and the aero
planes during the day, so we don't
have any time to lose. How would
you like to have a fourteen inch gun
up in your front door shooting all
night; not only one but several? l
can tell you they certainly make a
noise when they go off.
spent very glorious Fourth Of
July. We had a nice, long hike which
lasted all night July 3rd. We reach
ed place to sleep about eight
O'Clock in the morning of the 4th
We unrolled our blankets and rolled
down by an old shed and had a good
sleep all day while the planes were
not worrying US. At nine o'clock that
night we rolled our blankets up and
started again and walked all night,
and, believe me, when we did reach
our destination we were certainly tir-
ed boys. | hope all at home had a
more glorious Fourth than l did
l think by the time we all get back
home we certainly will know what a
home is and how to appreciate it
more than ever. really think France
| is a very beautiful country, and so
are the young ladies, but hope some
! day to be back in dear old Dawson.
If you only knew what l saw this
night and could hear all of this noise
| you would think the world was COM
ing to an end. l should worry about
the noise though, as | am accustom-
ed to hearing it and it does not wor-
ry me much. l am writing this letter
on my gas mask, as there is no table
near.
You spoke of the "Dixie Division

the only time l will ever meet them
