Mayor John Houston received
the folowing letter from Mrs,
H. A. Bowyer of Logansport,
Ind., on Tuesday morning:
"Dear air: This is to express
my sincere thanks to you and
the people of your town for the
wonderful treatment you gave
the soldier boys on their recent
visit to your city. My son and
grandson were among the boys
who camped there. My son
wrote me in glowing terms of
the fine time they had, and of
the spiial effort the people took
. to show them a good time. My
son belongs to a machine gun
crew and the work is very hard,
He is small and weighs only 130
pounds. Those machine guns
are very heavy. I wonder
sometimes how he carries the
loads he is required. The boys
had a tough time while in can-
: fornia and are glad to get back
: to camp.
"We do not understand why
- he was sent so far from home
: for his training. I am too far
, away to do much for him, so
am so very thankful to anyone
: who helps him in anyway. His
. name is Cloyd A. Bowyer, Co
O, Seventh infantry, Fort Lewis.
, "Thanking you again for your
kindness, he especially spoke of
. you and your fine speech.
Yours, Mrs. H. A. Bowyer.1
