LETTERS FROM
SOLDIERS
Mrs. Julia Hovis received this
letter from her son, George, who
is in a hospital in England recov
ering from wounds received in
France about three months ago.
This is the first letter she has had
from him since. She also received
a letter from a boy George met
in England.
Gear Mother,
I received your cable a few
days ago and was glad to know
that you are getting along 0. K.
For myself, I am doing fine. You
wanted to know the place 1 was
wounded. I have two wounds in
my left side and one in my back
but they are healed now.
i I never did get the films you
i sent or the package either. Annie
! Mae said she had sent some films
i but I haven’t received them. It
I seems there isn’t much use to
send anything over for it takes
! so long for packages to get here
How is Judy, Bud and the oth
er kids? 1 don’t guess they would
hardly know me since I have been
away so long anti this war isn’t
over yet.
Is Torn still at home0 I hope he
is for I wouldn’t want him to go
| through with what 1 have.
Will close for this time. An
swer soon.
Love to all,
GEORGE.
1 His Address is:
| Pfc. George W. Hovis, 34303170
U.S. Army Hospital Plant 4103
APO 649—U.S. Army, England.
Dear Mrs. Hovis,
You will be rather surprised at
receiving a letter from some one
you don’t know but will be pleas
ed I hope when you have read it.
1 am one of several Christian
men, who goes into the main
streets of our towns on Sunday
evenings, inviting the soldiers to
our Gospel services and then to a
little supper and singing after
wards, where they meet other
friends and we all seek to make
the men at home among us and
help them in any way we can.
I met your son, Pfc. George
Hovis last Sunday evening in
this way. He came along to the
service with me and during the
conversation I mentioned a let
ter I had received from a Mother
of a II. S. Soldier we had met
’hat I had written to her about
her son's wound, as she was wor
bis mail didn’t seem to he gettine
tell her much. George then said
through very well, so I promised
him I would write you and let
ried and he was not allowed to
you know he was doing fine. He
pital near here, where he ha
is stationed at a U.S. Army hos
been treated for a chest wound
He is now convalescent and as
vou will have p-athered, is able
to he out walking about when
'hey are allowed out. To look at
him vou would not think there
had been anything wrong with
him at all, so vou need not he
anxious about him.
We can all give thanks to God
that his life has been spared, as
less than a foot in another direc
tion the wound may have been
fatal. It is incidents like this that
make us realize how fragile a
thing life is, none of us knows
what tomorrow has in store foi
l's so x-hat a great thing it is to
have our trust in God, resting
our souls on the work of His Son,
completed at Calvary’s Cross,
then the future has no fears for
us, for come what may, we can
rest secure in God’s keeping,
knowing that trust in His Work
and His Love for us, we shall at
last rest in Heaven forevermore,
where woe, worry, sickness and
death never come. Read Mat
thew’s Gospel, Chapter 11 verses
28-29. Isn’t it just grand. We trust
you will soon get your son’s mail
all right and meanwhile wish you
every good wish.
Yours sincerely,
CYRIL FORD

the following letter from her son
Pvt. William F. Pruitt.
Wednesday, Oct. 18th
Dear Mom and all.
Just a few lines in answer to
your letter I just received. Sure
was glad to hear from you and
know you’re well. •I'm Okay now,
I got out of the hospital yester- |
day but didn’t have a chance to
write. We were too busy.
Mom, don’t send any pork or
anything like that yet; I’ll ask
for it before very long.
I got Larry’s picture while I
was in the hospital. It sure is nice
I wouldn’t take anything for it.
I got a letter from Charlene
and one from the girl in Shelby,
I sure would like to be there to
take Buie out. Would I have a
time. I’ll get to do that before so
very much longer for this business
can’t last forever.
Charlene wrote and wants me
to send her a request for some
meat and stuff like you wanted
to send me.
Tell Larry we’ll get that Straw
berry Horse when I get back
home, or a pony one.
Mom, I’ll close for now as time
is scarce. Answer real soon. Lots
of Love Always.
