TRANSCRIBED FROM THE BAXTER BULLETIN NOVEMBER 15, 1918 P. 1
I take time to drop you a few lines which leaves me feeling good and also having a good time. This is sure a fine place. We get all we can eat and all the smoking tobacco we want. Tell the boys back there they had better get busy and enlist and come on over. You can hear people talking back there about things over here but they don’t know anything about it. I am sure glad that I was lucky enough to get to come over. Well when you get this letter you write to Dow and tell him that I am O.K. and that I wish he was here with me. I never had a better time in my life. I will do all my writing to you and you can tell me all the news back there. Tell Chummie to write to me and every one back there that I will be back before long.
Goodbye, from your brother,
John Wells
NOTES: Private Wells is writing from France to his sister, Cannie Baker.
