gagged in this awful global war,
es. am crying now because 1t

sentiments expressed in letters
which | receive indicate that let
ters bring happiness to our men
in the service. With a three star
service banner to greet me on
entering my house by the side of
the road, | am now in this ever
increasing prayer band, who
earnestly and sincerely pray that

keep a light in the window and
breathe a daily prayer for the
lights to come on again all over
the world Along with Private
