TRANSCRIBED FROM THE NEWPORT DAILY INDEPENDENT OCTOBER 26, 1918 P. 2
My Dear Sister:
We are having some very fine weather over here and I am enjoying the very best of health. Crops here are good and the vegetable and fruit crops are fine. There are about two months difference between seasons in this country and in the states.
I hope all of you are getting along all right. I hope to be back home with you by 1920 anyway. I want you to rest easy about me. I am still with Elmer in the supply company, and if anything happens to me Elmer will see that I am taken care of. My desire is to be a good boy and save my money, so that when I get back home I will have something to lean on. Tell all the folks hello for me, and Elmer sends his best regards.
May God bless you all.
Your loving bud,
Jesse O. Jones,
Sup. Co., 154th Reg. Inf., A. E. F.
NOTES: This letter was written to his sister, Mr. Ida Winbourn, from France.
