May Have Lost an Arm

The following letter from Mrs. E.
G. Marriott, Chicago, to her brother,
Hugh Kelley, relates to the wounding
in France of her grandson, Marriott
Palmer:
1--WE had three letters from him
yesterday. The first was written July
3, just few words saying he was in
the hospital badly wounded and would
have to remain there a month or
more. The second was written July
z and stated he was getting along fine.
A shell fell about two feet from him.
They took two pieces from his right
leg below the knee and one above the
knee, one piece from the left thigh
and one from his right arm. He says:
Don't worry about me. I have my
two legs and right arm Nothing is
said about the left arm, and we are
afraid that is gone. No word from
shington-nothing but what he
wrote himself l have cabled to the
hospital to find out how he is and will
let you know when / hear"
Marriott Palmer enlisted when the
war started and was among the first
troops sent to France. He will be IS
years of age in October, and is as fine
type of physical manhood as Uncle
Sam possesses.
