TRANSCRIBED FROM THE SPECTATOR SEPTEMBER 27, 1918 P. 2
Dearest Mother:
I take the greatest pleasure to write you, as I am feeling pretty good. Have been sleeping most of the day. You know how I enjoy that kind of job.
I am just fine, enjoying good health; so is Lee Roy and all the boys from around home I hope you are getting along the same.
Every day I stay here the better satisfied I become, so you see I never think of getting that had disease of homesickness.
Everything is lovely this afternoon. The sun is shining, and everything seems to be enjoying the best of life.
I suppose the home paper is full of war dope these days; anyway, I suppose you notice the Germans are no longer going towards Paris.
Tell everybody “Hello”, and write all the news.
So good-by,
Your Son,
Lawrence Gray.
NOTES: This letter was written by Lawrence Gray.
