TRANSCRIBED FROM THE BAXTER BULLETIN MAY 9, 1919 P. 1
Dear Mother:
I drop you a few lines to let you know how I am making it. These few lines leave me feeling fine, and I hope that they find you the same. I had the mumps but am over them now. They hurt me worse than any other sickness I have had since I left home and I am glad a fellow can’t have them twice. We are having pretty weather. I registered father a letter, as he said he hadn’t been getting them and for some cause or another I haven’t been getting my mail. I have been across the Rhine several times. I belong to the third army, so it is uncertain when I will be home. It may be some time this summer or fall. I hope the time to return home will come soon.
NOTES: This partial letter was written by Sid White, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. White, on April 6. He was serving in Coblenz, Gemany as part of the occupation army.
