 Two Listed As Casualties. Dear Mother:-
 'I received your letter and was more than glad to hear from you. I received your letter just before I went over the top. We went over and we sure did give it to the Germans got shot two times in the leg, mother, but 1 am coming along fine. While I was waiting for help all I could see was the Germans going just as fast as they could for their dear life and our boys in back of them; and they sure did give them hell.
 And we also took a'lot of prison CTS and you can tell the world that they did work after we got them, and they were only too glad to be taken prisoners. Well I've been in the war for some time now mother, and it is
  all right soon, and then I can go back and get the German that got me. If he is dead I will get some other Ger man to pay up for it.
 We'll, let's drop the war now, moth CT. How is everything at home and in New Britain? How is father and all the rest? Tell them I will write to them in a few days. 1 must close now for it is time for bed.
 BILL"

 Dear Madam Am writing you few lines for Raymond. He is get ting along fine now, but cannot write at present By the time you get this I expect he will be at the rest camp, and able to do his own writing. He has been pretty sick, but then don't worry, because I have been with him all along. He said to tell you he would like to get some mail. Evident lv it has all been lost, as he has not had any in about two months. He received a Christmas box from the Red Cross a few days ago. He says that it is rather late, or else pretty early for Christmas boxes. His right arm is too lame at pres ent to write. but in about a week you can expect a letter from him. Well, | will close for this time. Raymond wants to know how the kids are get ting along. Send his mail to his old address as usual. Will close for this time With best wishes Raymond sends love to all Respectfully, pNT J2 ENNIS. Erae Hospital No. 1, American E. F., via N. Y. For Pvt. Raymond c. Frost Co., I, 102d Regt. U. s. E.
