Glad to hear from you Harry.
For the past few weeks, or should
we say the past two letters, you
have been batting for both of your
Buddies from around these parts;
namely Sgt. Frederick ]. Burke
and Pfc. Edgar w. Starkley, who
are stationed near you. We GER
-ainly do appreciate the fact that
you are helping keep us in touch
with these Boys, soldier, and we
nope that you will always mention
hem when you write in.
Nothing could please us more
.han to know that all three of you
fellows are making out fine over
here on the other side of the At
antic. Let us hope that all your
'eports will continue on in the
same strain.
Harry, we are glad to be able to
lend you the addresses you have
'equested. These are going for
ward to you by Air Mail ahead of
his issue of The Smyrna Times.
We feel that it is much better to
erve you in this manner, since this
,ives us the chance to send the
ull address of the Boys which you
AVE mentioned. Otherwise, were
We to print our reply in this col
INN it would require quite few
uts on account of censorship rul-
ngs. Hope they reach you prompt
Y, son.
Best of luck to you Harry, and
lease pass along the same to both
red and Edgar the next time you
ee them. Tell them that we're
ulling for all our friends in the
service, and will continue to do so
ntil the ultimate Victory over our
nemies has been won. Now don't
orget to write every so often, my
riend, and let us know how you
re making out. Perhaps you
ould get Fretd and Edgar in the
Iotion also. 1 am sure that all
heir friends would like to read one
# their letters, if and when time
an be taken out for this purpose.

Thanks for the post card Ser
geant. Folks, this pos tcard is of
The picture type, showing a scene
Of Jefferson Davis House" Adult
ants Office) built about 1928, and
other buildings of the Stockade, at
Fort Gibson, near Muskogee, Okla
homa. The buildings shown in this
picture are all of colonial style,
surrounded by grass. 1t is quite
possible that the drills and par
AIDES of olden times took place on
this very same green grass out
there at oF'rt Gibson. I guess many
a soldier was glad when review was
over. Time is certainly passing,
but human nature seems to change
but little. A point well worth
your thought if you beliebe THAT
this present war is a war to end al
wars"
Long time no hear Sergeant. We
were sort of wondering what hat
happened to you until your goot
mother wrote in a short while bach
and loaned us a little news con
cerning your status. 1t was indeed
very kind in her to pinch hit fol
you Sergeant, and we surely dt
appreciate every mothers interes
in her son, or sons, whichever thu
case may be. We all understand
that you have been quite busy dur
ing the past fe wmonths. Perhaps
this will ease off no wfor awhile
If it does, how about dropping bacl
to your old status and write in a
times, telling us how things ar,
progressing for you. Your letter
will always be welcome.
Speaking of the First Rainbov
Division, Lloyd, no doubt you hav
listened to its history through
