A LETTER FROM w. D. NANCE
Who Was in Active Service on Sub
Chaser to His Mother, Mrs.
Alma Nance.
Ponta Delgada,
San Migual, Azores,


Dec. 27, 1913
Dearest Mother: Well, here am
again in the Azores and on my way
back home this time The war being
over and our work in England finish
ed. 1 am very well satisfied with the
part we played in the game
We left Plymouth December 10 and
arrived in Gibraltar, Spain, December
16. Left there December 21 and ar
rived here yesterday with eighteen
chasers and six other escort ships.
Spent Christmas day at sea and GER
tainly had big dinner, the sea be-
ing calm enough to set the table.
Don't know how long we will be
here, but think we will leave within
week if we can get gas for the chas-
ers. We pick up fourteen more chas-
ers and three tugs and one tanker
here and start for the States. We are
going by way of st. Thomas, in the
West Indies, (east of Porto Rica) and
the trip will take twenty days to St.
Thomas, so expect to be in the States
some time in February or March.
We are having warm and calm
weather now and am enjoying every
day at sea. Most of the boys are still
going in undershirts and barefooted.
Suppose all of us will be by the time
we get further south.
We certainly had some rough wealth
er when we left Plymouth and over
half of the crew was sea sick for three
or four days. I must have been born
for the sea as I have never felt the
least bit sick.
We have had no mail for three
weeks and won't get any until we get
to the States, so you need not write
me any more until you hear from me
again. This is probably the last let
ter you will get from me until we
get to the States so don't worry
about me because after we leave here
we won't be able to mail any more
letters on ships going to the States
as we will be taking mail from other
ships for the States.
Haven't heard from Doc in some
time. Suppose he is home by now or
on the way.
Am getting on fine and hope to see
you soon.
Love and regards to all.
Your devoted son,
Bill.

Rufus Sanford was born March q

years. In love and respect his owl
would bring a tribute to honor nj
memory. He died in the Christian
faith confessed in st. Marks E. L
church, .Saluda county, S. c.
How shall we honor him,
So loving and so true?
To mourn our loss with tears,
That brings tribute due
My dear, why censure me?
'Tis all that / can do,
To give a loving heart
In grief and loss to you
How sweet to me loves dream,
Our wedding day so fair;
How sad to bid adieu,
When you were called DER there
We view life's tangled maze
And fail to understand;
It's ours to trust and wait,
For in our loss, Gods hand.
Some day-how sweet to think
It's maze shall all be known;
Then only praise and song
Ascend before his throne.
Farewell, my dear, be still,
'Tis not a blasting grief;
Loves birth must be of God;
It's not to die, leaf.
We wait our fathers will,
For this becomes his child;
He will make thrice blest
The love we lost awhile.
