Mrs. R. W. Weatherly,
Dear Mother :
Just received your ever most welcome letter, and hasten to answer. Glad to hear all’s well. I am fine and dandy. Don’t know when I will get to baffle with the billowy waves on my way to the U. S. A. the best country on Earth. I hear we are billed for Germany, may be before this reaches you. Don’t worry about me. Escaped Fritz so far, and he is pretty tame now, but still treacherous. Mama I send you two of my pictures. They are not very good, as I was standing in the rain. It rains here about all the time. There is 4 ½ inches snow on the ground now. I was promised a pass to Southern France next week, but it’s all off now. Well, bye bye; ever your devoted son,
Noah D. Weatherly.
317th Supply Co. F. A. 81st Div.
NOTES: Noah Dix Weatherly was born in Tennessee on October 6, 1895 and died on July 7, 1970. He is buried in the Mount Zion Cemetery in Hamburg, Arkansas. His military headstone identifies him as a Arkansas Wagg, Supply Company, 317 FA in WWI.
