Dear Mother:
How are you all by now? I’m getting along fine and having a good time. I’m anxious to hear from you. Write me all the news when you write.
How is Minnie, Tom and the kids getting along? Mother, tell me all the boys who have had to go to the army since I left from around home. Has Leslie and Joe M. had to go yet? Well, Mother, I can’t write much this time. Write to me every week. And tell the others to write. Give them my address: Co. L 119th Inf.; American Expeditionary Forces; Forcis, France
How is my mare getting along? I think I will have Tom to sell her for me this summer. Well write me at once.
Your son,
J.W.D.
