De Queen Bee and Readers:
Will write you a few lines today.
How are all of you?
I am having a real good time here in Syracuse.
Well, readers, how would you like to go to the front with me? I think we will eat Christmas dinner somewhere in France. I would appreciate a letter from some of the boys and girls there at home. Well I, readers and friends, got to go to work. Am on fatigue duty today.
Wishing the Bee and all of its readers good luck, I remain,
Mother’s Soldier Boy.
