her foot struck the table and turned
the ink over and ruined my letter She
said nomething. don't know what,

This is a war don't understand. Now,
that we have fought and won and they
still keep us over here. Don't have
any idea when we will get TO leave;
maybe a long time for / noticed that
the drafted men would not get to go
home until some volunteered TO take
their places. There are not many over
here that will do that So we are out
of luck II does not look fair for other
boys that never heard gun fire, and
some that are not worth a d for
anything else only the army, are get
ting back. Maybe after all the rest
get back, will stand a show, but looks
like our company will be the last to
come. was among the first to get
over here and guess | will be among
the last to get back home. Seems like
they have got II in for me. When
get back the people will wonder where
have been. They will forget there
has been war. And when ! get back
don't want people to meet me, shak-
ing hands and saying, I'VE are so glad
to see you; you have done so much
for your country, and we have talked,
prayed and hoped for your safe re-
turn; we know you have done more
than your part" | don't want that
kind OF welcome at all; | have just
done my part and no more. There are
boys that have done more than have,
they have given their lives, but they
are soon forgotten and their names
not thought of any more. They are
the ones that should have the praise,
not the ones that merely did their part.
A man that did his part only did his
duty He don't need the flowers
thrown upon him as he walks down
the streets of New York or some other
city, for he knows what he has done,
let IL be more than the other fellow or
not so much. | feel assured that there
has been lots OF men walked up and
down the streets and was covered with
flowers and praises, and no doubt that
very same man lay in shell hole
while his comrades went over the top.
You know he did not deserve that kind
of welcome.
Because a man was In France or
England. that Is no sign that he killed
the Kaiser or the Kaiser's SON In law.
Not saying this because am here, but
the men that won the war, where are
they? ! know: they are here yet, lay
ing in barns and other places to keep
from freezing, and the people will
think we are having the life Of Riley,
II might be. for don't know what kind
OF life he led, but this Is like H.
here You can take my word for II,
or some one that has never tried IT.:
do as you please.
/ Well. want the good will Of every
body. but do not mean to run them
into the river TO get them to like me.
But will run some OF them that did
not come over here into the river II
they try TO tell me what good time
/ had over here. and a lot of stun that
is not so. Hope ! will get back any
way by the 4th OF November, 1920. You
know what | mean, don't You.
