TRANSCRIBED FROM THE LONOKE DEMOCRAT NOVEMBER 21, 1918 P. 4
Somewhere in France
July 17, 1918
Mrs. Ellis Robinson,
Lonoke, Ark.
Dear Mother:
While sitting around tonight and thinking of you and home I will write you a few lines. This leaves me well with the exception of a very bad cold. It is so hot over here we can hardly live. Mother if you are worrying about me, please don’t, for I am all right. I like over here very well and I believe I am coming home when the war is over. It seems like I never will get a letter from home or any one in the dear old U. S. Tell Dad not to work too hard and kill himself for when I get out of the army I am coming home and settle down and go to work like a man.
(THIS MAY BE AN INCOMPLETE LETTER)
James Robinson
NOTES: This may be an incomplete letter.
