Thank you very much for the in
formation about your husband,
Mrs. Powell AS you have sug-
suggested, it is so very much bet
ter to have it roll in a bit later,
than never.
One thing quite sure, Ford has
certainly been moved around since
December 10th, 1914. In some re-
spects this is alright since it gave
Ford an opportunity to see more
of Europe than he otherwise would
have had he stayed with his old
outfit all the time. Of course, you
can't blame him for wanting to get
back with them either. Once a
good group is formed, and they
learn to know each other very
well, it helps out a lot when you're
stationed many miles away from
home. There seems to be nothing
in the world like your old buddies
when you're in the Service. Yes,
and that's just as it should be.
Since you state that Ford is
moving deeper into Germany, it
would appear as if he is going to
remain for time as a member of
the Army of Occupation. hits too
may prove to be very interesting
from an Americans point of view.
Naturally, he would like to be on
his way home to see you, but in a
general sense of the word, it may
be all for the best. If Ford says
he is staying on in Germany, il
will mean that he may not be re-
deployed for Pacific area conflict
This would be good news 1 believe
to any wife at home, even though
she must wait several months
longer for her husbands return
Don't you agree?
Please give Ford my very bes
wishes the next time you write t.
him. And you might suggest tina
he send in some word about wher,
he is now stationed, and such re
marks of interest that he woul,
see fit. I am quite sure that hi
friends will be pleased to hear al
about what is doing in his part o
Germany.

sure that your son-in-laws would
have some interesting news to
write about if they choose. We
would want them to feel right at

them this. Meanwhile, if you

es of address, kindly send them

very much your having sent in the
change of address for your son,
James A. Darrell, S 1c, us. Navy.
We are indeed sorry to learn that
James has been i'll in the U. S.
Naval Hospital at Jacksonville,
Florida since April, and sincerely
hope that he is now very much i'm
proved. Please tell him that We
wish him a rapid recovery on the
road to good health. Rheumatic
fever is indeed painful; however,
with the splendid sare our Service
men receive, we trust that this has
been reduced to a minimum. 1t
would be most friendly of you to
keep us informed on James condi-
tion. Since he is now one of Our
Boys, we are truly interested IN
his welfare through his term of
service. I know that all his
friends would feel the same as we
do. Perhaps, if you suggested it,
your son might like to write in and
tell his buddies how he is making
out? If James has had a change
of address since you sent the last
one through, wont you please be
kind enough to send it along so
that those who wish to write to
him will have the correct informa-
tion as to where to mail his let
ters? Yes! Be sure to give jim
mie our very best, too.

Pat" Like so many others in
this country, we're hoping that
this war in the Pacific can be con-
cluded sometime this year if pos
sible. There is still a long dis
tance to go if the Japs decide to
fight it out to the finish. However,
it would appear that our increas-

we're preparing for whatever hap

Dear Dribbles:
It's been a long time since I
wrote you to give information con-
corning my husband, T-4 Ford j.
Powell. But they say it's better
late than never"
Ford went from England to
France, and then to Belgium.
There he was assigned to Detached
Service. This happened on Decem-
ber 10th, 1914.
Following the Belgium assign
ment, Ford returned to France and
did some very secret work, then
moved on into Holland. After
Ford left Holland, he went into
Germany.
Since We Day Ford has written
me and told me what town he is
quartered in. The town is Bad
Neustadt. My husband advises me
that he is living in a nice little
modern type home there. He said
that the houses there are very
much like our own houses back in
the States. The home in which
Ford lives has a garden attached,
and the things that the folks had
planted there are very much like
our own garden crops.
My husband has rejoined his
group now. It's the first time he
has been with them since December
1914. I know he was glad to get
back because that group has been
together long before they left the
States.
In the letter I received from
Ford the other day, he said that
he was getting ready To move
further into Germany. have not
heard from him since. However,
when he changes his address will
let you know what it is. Ford's
present address is as follows: T-4
Ford J. Powell, A. S. N. 32751811,
A. P. o. No. 63S, C Postmaster,
New York City, New York. (Bal-
ance of address on application).
In conclusion I might say that
Ford has four service stars, and as
far as I know is in the best of
health.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Ford j. Powell
