TRANSCRIBED FROM THE MOUNTAIN WAVE MAY 10, 1918 P. 2
U. S. S. Huntington, May 1, 1918
W. F. Brown, Marshall, Ark.
Dear Bill:
Received yours of April 7th. As you see, I don’t receive mail very regularly. I wish I was in your little city. I would love to walk down Main street and have a cigar with the boys as we could in the old days of peace times. But I won’t walk out tonight, as I have water on one side and the Atlantic ocean on the other. I was wondering where you were just a few days ago --- supposed you had moved away from Marshall before now. I guess I would be lost there in Marshall --- so many of the younger people have gone away, especially the girls.
I am enclosing you five dollars for my Lodge dues, which you stated were three dollars and twenty-five cents, and I will ask you to have the Mountain Wave mailed to me and then have a cigar at my expense.
Trusting we will have peace soon, and be with the homefolks for the Thanksgiving turkey, as ever your friend and brother,
HUGH BOHANNON.
