LETTERS FROM “OUR HOYS" “OVER THERE” AND HERE TT is a great, pleasure for the-boys in camp to receive letters from home; therefore relatives and friends should write them frequently. It is a pleasure, too, for the home folks—and we who remain behind are all the home folks these days—to read letters from our boys who are in military service. We all like to hear from them. Here are a few letters from some of “our boys” who are “over there” and over here. Leo T. Crockett left Omaha for Chi cago about five years ago. He en listed in the famous Eighth Illinois regiment, which is the only regiment commanded by Colored officers from the colonel down. It was among the first to be mustered into the federal service and sent overseas, and there fore among the first to smell powder over there. Leo’s letter is brief, hut shows that he still thinks of his Omaha friends. Crockett Thinks of Omaha Friends On Active Service with the American Expeditionary Forces, August 13, 1918. Dear Father Williams: Please ex cuse me for not writing sooner. I am well and feeling fine, and hope you are the same. This is a beautiful place and the buildings are rather old, dating as far back as 1721. The only churches I have seen here are Cath olic. How are the Misses Bell and Single ton, and Mrs. Wade, also Andrew Williams, Bell and Guy Robbins? What is Guy’s address? Also how are Mrs. Laeour and her daughter Mar garet? What is their address? Give my best regards to Mrs. Wil liams and all inquiring friends. Yours truly, LEO T. CROCKETT, Medical Department, 370th Infantry, U. S. A., A. E. Forces, Franee. Andrew Reed on Historic Ground Somewhere in France, August 8, 11)18. My Dear Father Williams: Just a line from one who is trying to do his bit far across the sea, where great na tions are struggling on the battle fields where history’s most prominent warriors, such as Napoleon and Char lemagne, have covered with tread of many feet. France is beautiful even in its devastated state. The people are hospitable and cheerful yet. Our troops are doing their share to keep the Hun on the run, and when the smoko of this gigantic struggle is over and everything is again tranquii we shall then return home, the pride of all whom we left behind, for never did a braver set of men set foot in battle. Lieutenants Turner and Madison, whom I saw lately, are well. Lieu tenant Brannon is a member of my battalion and he sends his regards to all. Remember me to your family and drop me a line as often as you like, for 1 certainly will appreciate it. I close now, as I have the guard to inspect. Hoping to hear from you soon, I beg to remain yours sincerely, ANDREW T. REED, Lieutenant Company K, .‘168th Infan try, A. E. F., France, via Ne„w York. Edward (“Eddie”) Turner Writes His Mother A. E. F., France, August 15, 1918. My Dear Mother: 1 am quite well. Nothing to complain of. I really be lieve this climate in France agrees j with me. My thoughts are of jou and Avella at all times, and, of course, I do not forget Earl. At the time of writing this letter we are under the sound of the guns and by the time you get it we will have had several fights. The men are in fine spirits and eager to fight. We have no fear of the ultimate end. We put our trust in ’(lod, and you know w ithout Him we are nothing. 1 know you are praying for me. Your prayers have thus far been an swered and I believe that I W'ill return safely home. I have everything that is needed, consequently no complaints. I have so many things to tell you. 1 can assure you that conditions are fine; that our soldiers are well taken care of. We keep them in the best of condition. Tell Earl he must take good caieof himself so if called upon he will not shirk his duty. Now', mother dear, tell all inquiring friends I send my best regards and hope to be with you soon. I will write again soon, but please answer as soon as possible. This is the proper w'ay to address my mail: EDWARD TURNER. First Lieutenant, 366th Infantry, A. E. F., France, A. P. O. 766. Omaha Boys Doing Fine Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., September 2, 1918. Dear Father Williams: Well, Fath er, all boys from Omuha are just get ting along fine and hold the best rec ord in deportment of all the com panies down here. Our lieutenant lec tured to us today and said that he was actually surprised at the deport ment we boys had and such excellent behavior. The punishment given here for mis behavior is on the rock pile from ten to twenty days, and he said that he did not want a boy in his company to have to go to the rock pile. We all had our inoculation yester day and all stood it well. No one has gotten sick over it.. We all were e;ated over the excel lent address that you gave us at the courthouse and we will never forget it, also the fine address given us by Mayor Smith, and one thing in par ticular he said, ‘‘Guard your health,” and that it what we are trying to do. I believe that is all for this time. I have nine subscribers for The Monitor per week. I told them they would pay 5 cents a week. If that is right notify me at once. Yours truly, PVT. CECIL B. WILKES, Casual Company 101, 162d Depot Brigade, Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark. Rufus Long *s f’nniijany Clerk Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., September 7, 1918. Re\. John Albert Williams: Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your k'nd lettei of welcome, and I sincerely appreciate your interest in my mili tary success, whether it be small or large. I trust that your forecast of my triumphant return has not been exaggerated. 1 am glad to know that here is some one in Omaha who is praying for me besides my wife and relatives. If we need any one thing more than another it is the prayers of the folks at home. The boys were royally entertained all along the route from Omaha to Camp Pike. We were especially enter tained by the Red Cross in both Van Buren and Fort Smith, Ark. We ar rived in Camp Pike about 1 a. m. Sat urday, August 24. A large number of the Omaha boys are in my company and the rest of them are in Company 102. We have been through all the elements of our induction into the army except the three required inocu lations (or "shots”), of which we have received one. That we received last Sunday and we are all doing fine. I am acting company clerk and Frank Blackwell is acting mail sergeant. We are located about eight miles from Camp Pipe proper in what is called Tent Camp No. 2. There are about 6,000 Colored boys here and they are mostly all from the South. Hoping these few lines will give some idea of how we are getting along, I take pleasure in remaining sincerely youis, R. C. LONG, Casual Company 101. 162d Depot' Brigade.
