Excerpts from August 23, 1918:


My Dear Grace,

Well how are things top day. "Is there trouble any where"? is the old car still in the garage?...

Have been having a little trouble again with our boss, have made arrangements to be transferred to another Div. but it will not change my location, just give me full charge of locale warehouse as it was I was under another fellow to a certain extent.

It certainly has been 'hot' here for a few days, I tho't it got hot in T.C. but id doesn't you have cold weather there on your hotest days along side of what we have had for a couple of days...

Every thing going along over here all O.K. Rec;d a letter from harry the other day the first I have had for a long time, Pat is getting all the mail now days, for a while I had him beat, but now he is getting all of the mail...

In your last letter, Dear you still speak of razor blades + etc, I get every thing that I need here much cheaper than it can be bought in the U. S. cheaper than I could buy it wholesaley that is things like Cigretts, tobacco, Razor blades +etc, So don't worry about me I can get sox, underware, + everything...

I get a paper about once a week from home, about 2 months old but seems kinda good at that.

Well Dearie this isn't much of a letter, but just to let you know I am all right and love you more every day

Tell Count Hello,

Love

Will

Excerpts from letters mailed together and dated February 17 and 18, 1919 My Dear Grace – Rec’d your letter this afternoon, some parts of it were just fine, but I see you opened up family matters again, I just wrote you a letter and tore it up so Ill try and keep off of that questions, No I have not received any Xmas box from any one this year, I guess it landed in France all right, as I received a card from [illegible] that there was a box there and also a card from Brest, that there was a box there for me, I filled out my slip and sent them back about Xmas time but, I never received either box… My there have been thousands of horses passing here all day to day, the British are shipping them home I guess… My Dear Grace – This is a nice warm morning just like it is home in May. the birds are all singing and every thing looks quite springey but perhaps in a hour or so, things will look different, I got thro’ work last night before dark which is about six o

Excerpts from February 15, 1919 My Dear Grace – Have a few moments to spare, so will write you a few lines… Ten months to-day and starting on the eleventh, and by the time you answer this will be on my last Month, and getting ready to come home, So you had better tell me just what you are going to-do when you answer this, Is Ethel coming with you, she told Ralph that she wasn’t coming to New York, but I guess she was just kinda sore in that letter, she no doubt. will be there with bells on. I would suggest that we go to the Hotel Laytham, the one Ralph and I stopped at when we came over, if we could not get rooms then have it for headquarters untill we found each other, that is if we arrived first we would leave our address with the clerk, or if you arrived first and could not get room leave your address with the clerk. as it will be quite difficult for you to be right there when the boat arrives, and you might now know which, dock we were to dock at so if, I do n

Excerpts from September 1, 1918: My Dear Grace - Sunday the first day of Sept. my time does fly doesn't it, has it seemed long to you dear,? When I think of you, it does seem long, but I have been so busy since I left home that it seems quite short, when I think of all the things I have done It is quite cool here to day, begins to act like fall, think I will put on little heavy underware soon, In fact I haven't been out of the house this afternoon on account of its not begin warm, but Pat and I are going for a walk soon... This division of the Y M C A is growing by leaps and bounds now days we get several new sectors every day, It has been quite nice for Pat and I that we were one of the first ones in this Div. as we can see how it has grown
