Dear Mother:6Just a few lines to let
YOU know that 1 received your letter
Yesterday, when we came back from
the Black sea, where we went to Yalta,
Russia, and Sebastopol, Russia. We
got on seventy-two refugees from Yalta
as the Bolsheviki came in and took it.
We conveyed the last of the Russian
troops that belonged to the old Russian
empire. We got about forty miles
from Constantinople and received a
distress signal and found a ship with
5000 women, childten and soldiers on
1t, out of coal, water and eats for two
days. We tried to tow them in, but
could not make much, so sent a wire
less for tugs, and they came for them
early yesterday morning. We gave a
dollar each for something to eat for
them and a submarine chaser took it
out to them. If you could see them
you would give them all you had, as
the little children were begging and
crying for eats. There were 400 sick
and dying, and we sem 749 loaves of
bread and fifteen cans OF crackers, and
1000 gallons of water. 1t sure is a pity
the way they have to leave home with
out anything, and leave everything be-
hind. 1 will close now with love.
