TRANSCRIBED FROM THE NEWPORT DAILY INDEPENDENT OCTOBER 24, 1918 P. 2
Dear Mother and Brother:
Will write you a letter to let you know that I am well and getting along fine. I have written you several letters, but have not received any from you, and if I’m all right over here, you ought to be over there.
Cary, I see in the paper where you registered from 18 to 45. That caught you, but you will not get to come to France. I cannot tell you much about the war. I wish I could. I have been to the front several times, and we gave them h--- every time, but we are not there now. Write me a long letter and tell me all the news you can. Write me often and tell me as much as you wish, for they don’t censor the mail coming over, but I know they get tired of reading all we write.
Wm. H. Davidson,
Co. K 38th Inf., A. E. F.
NOTES: This letter was written by William Henry Davidson to his mother and brother Cary who lived in Grubbs, Arkansas. Davidson was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on August 21, 1890 and died on January 10, 1923. He is buried in the Walnut Grove Cemetery in Newport, Arkansas.
