In a letter to his mother, Mrs. F.
O. Parker written in France on Jan.
5, Harry Miller says:
“ I think I will beat this letter to
the states. I’ll wire when I get
there so you’ll probably hear from
me before you get this letter. It is
hard for me to realize that I am on
my way home and I'll be uneasy
until I am on the boat. I guess it is
true though as we are practically
all set and ready to entrain.”
