Don't get lonesome or be sad. There
is no use nor no need as am well
never felt better and am getting
along fine, am cheerful and am
enjoying myself. Just be content and
happy until come back. 1t will not
be long as the brutal, cursed Ger
mans can't win against we Amer
leans. They fear us and we will
certainly give them hell.
Has Charles been called yet or
enlisted? If so send me his address
as l want to write him. l know il
hurts to part with two sons, mother
but God will send them back to you
Just be proud of us dear mother of
mine and be brave. Just remember
we are soldiers of our own native
land, in defense of our rights and
liberties and soldiers of God and
wronged humanity and are against
the most barbarous, inhuman enemy
and who have disregarded even the
law of God, nations and men and
every principle of right and justice.
Have any more of our boys sailed
yet, and how do they like France?
Is there any news, mother? How
arc all the homefolks? Give them
all my love. l will try and write
them real soon. Don't be uneasy
about me if | don't write every day
as there are SO many duties, l don't
have time. My duty comes before
anything else you know. Do write
me often though and tell all the
homefolks and friends to write. /
need the letters and they help more
then you could ever believe.
l must stop now, and write again
real soon. Do write often mother.
Love to all, Billy.
