Letters from The Boys Who Have Gone to Makethe World Safe for Democracy Letter received by Miss Jennie Fitzpatrick from her brother, Vincent, now on the fighting line in France: On the Line, July 12, 1918. Dear Jennie : Received your let ter some time ago, I was very glad to hear from you. Haven't received very much mail since we came to this front. Am writ ing this in a dugout and have a very poor place and light but I ruess you will be able to read it. Just a couple of days ago Fritz made it so hot for us we had to move our horses under fire. They sure came pretty fast and real close too. Although no one was hurt very badly J. 0. Emmons was scratched slightly in the side but it was so slight that it hardly bled any. Have a piece of one of the shots that came over, will save it for a souvenir as it is one of our lucky shots. It landed in the middle of 150 horses and about the same num ber of men and hit no one. Was over to see a dentist this after noon but didn't iret anv worlr done, am going back in the a. m. This is Julv 14 so mess I will finish this letter. Moved since I started this letter but we are still on the same front. Todav is French Independence day and they, are havinpr a bit? celebra tion. So was Fritz this a. m. about 5:00 O'clock, he wnlra ma up bv dropping about 200 rounds of H. E. but he didn't do any harm by doing it. But they sure make a very interesting whistle when on their way over.although I guess ours gives about the same music to his ears only we send over more kisses than he can send back. Just now received your letter and read it, also the card and gum, am chewing1 the gum now, tastes pretty good. Was out stealing cherries this a. m. they sure tasted good. Re-, ceived a letter from Dick just the other day. He didn't have much to say. As yet he hasn't been on the firing line, But he will get there soon enough. Oh, yes I also received your Red Cross button but it was broken in three pieces. Well news is scarce so will close for this time. With love, VINCENT. (Continued on Page 4.) W. s. s.
