TRANSCRIBED FROM THE BRINKLEY ARGUS FEBRUARY 28, 1919 P. 2
U.S. Embarkment Hospital No. 1, Hoboken, NJ., Feb. 15, 1919
Dear Brother:
I am in the good old U.S. again. I received your letter three weeks ago and was glad to hear you was improving, hope you are walking by now. You must try. I was in bed 11 weeks and when I got up I could not walk a step, I can now. Have one more operation to go under—a graft of four inches of bone, and of course that will take some time. When that is finished I guess I will go to Hot Springs, Ark., then I will come home.
How are mother and father and kids? You are well, I hope. I will close as I want to write the other kids.
Your brother,
Ira Taylor
