How are the folks at home tell
Alice and Lark, hello for me. Is
Hesie still at Roys? Oh say have
just received the letter from you
that you sent Mr.. OsbOrne's letter
in. II seems as though he don't
want the 42d Rainbow, Division to
have any credit for what they have
.fnne. He said he saw in the paper
xlsee the famous 42d Division
WIS 20 parade in New ork City on
returning to the U. S. A. also re-
meMbered the fine ROllong barrages
they gave over for the AID on Ar
sonNs forest, he said one was en-
Dagh for them, perhaps the first
four wasn't thrown right, | know
myself the regular army is better
zhan the National guards. sup |
pose he joined for fun, but we join 5
ed merely to help defend our coun- {
.Fy while in need. He said he
wasn't knocking the AID Div. no l
ne isn't, but he might if he only |
knsw how. / suppose he is some |
5. o. s. soldier and his comrades did I
his part. | doubt it very much if
he ever heard a gun fire on the bat 7
the heId. | want to say the old U.
5. army has fought well not only t
.hs i2d Div. but all the AID has q
foss SO well that she has got lots t
Of credit for what she has done.
This Division was the first one TO !
mid down Divisional sector, his
Ietter goes to show he is selfish and
wants the public to think one little
bnueh did 1t all, but it isn't that [
Czy the whole American Army has /
lone wonderfully well, but before /
fiaxing | am glad to say am a I
member of the 42d Division and am {
sroud of 1t. VIII now close hop [
lg 10 be with you soon. v
Lovingly your Husband, I
