Rhodes, a Polk County soldier in
Africa. He says: “Dear Mr. Vin

month. It is really nice to get the
news from home. I think of you
people back there quite often. Sure
would like to be back, but I guess
I’ll hang around over here and see

has been a long summer, in fact
one of the longest that I have
ever seen. (Letter writteen Dec.

I think I have been out of the

gards to friends back home.” . . .
