Somewhere in France,
September 2, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Your sweet letter received and
was so glad to hear from you all and
to know you were well.
have just finished eating supper.
We boys get plenty to eat and Uncle
Sans boys never lack anything. They
get their full share of everything and
they are getting a square deal. We
are now drawing an increase of 20
per cent on the pay we received be-
fore for overseas service. We are al
so being issued three packs of cigar
cites a week.
I feel that l am in good shape as
Ruth gets enough to live on and l
am carrying ten thousand dollars
worth of insurance. I still draw Sl5
each month which is above the aver
age of what most men are drawing.
I have also been made a first class
private and that means three dollars
more for me each month.
I am glad to say that | am in the
best outfit Uncle Sam has. l say this
because it has been tested. General
Pershing himself said that we have
the best officers and he also said that
we were the best soldiers. That is a
big compliment, isn't it? 1t certainly
makes me feel good to know this,
but just look where we are from and
what stock we come of.
Yes, Mama, l hate to be so far
away from you all in n n of
the word but as it is l am glad to
say l am man enough to stick up to
my rights and always will be as long
as there is breath in me. | am always
ready when l hear my country call
ing. I think it is every young mans
duty to serve his country. an glad
to say that old Carolina has no slack
ers. She is ready to do her duty.
I didn't know Tommy was so
smart. He certainly does write inter
esting letters. You can't imagine
how much good it did me to hear
from him. He will be a smart man
some day | hope.
Mama, do all you can to get the
boys to go to school which l know
YOU will. You asked me what think
of Harvie being a.Boy Scout. l think
it is the very thing for him. A Boy
Scout gets practically the same train
ing a soldier gets and it is a known
fact that every young man viii! nave
to serve so long in the army. II ne
gets this training before he becomes
a Young man the easier it will be for
him, when he gets into the, regular
service.
The future looks good and every
thing seems brighter and brighter ev-
ery day. Things are coming Dur way
as fast as they can.
1 had a letter from Marie a few
DAYS ago. All were well and doing
fine. She said Paul had a good crop
and I was so glad to know it.
l will have to close as it is so dark
l can't see. l know you can't read
this anyway. Write soon and a long
letter. Much love to all. May God be
with you until we meet again.
Your devoted son,

thing. 1t is most wonderful.
