Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-08-27


while since 1 wrote you, but am sending the
pillow now. Would have sent it last week
but have been sick. 1 did my best on making
the pillow and cases. Hope they are right.
The war is still raging, and we must do our
share of the fighting. Tie draft from eighteen
to fOrty-five will soon be on Some people
don't think they should take the eighteen-year
old boys. Well, say if it takes them to win
the war, let's send them without murmur.
It's hard for twenty-one- ye0r-old boy to
leave home but the eighteen yea r-olds IRE just
as brave and they can leave, toO-if their coun-
Try needs them. They will make good soldiers.
And in after years those that are spared will
come back to us-men-the most honored men
on Gods green earth. The new draft will get
two Of my brothers. Well know am taking
up more space than is my share. Will go,
for hear the dinner bell, and I'm just little
bit afraid I'll miss dibner-if it is a Hoover
dinner. Your friend,
ANNA KIEFF.
