Dear Sam,
"Enclosed you will please find the two letters from the boys, that you so kindly sent me to read, I not only read them myself but had about everybody that I thought would like to hear direct from the front line trenches read them.
These two boys are sure doing their bit . . . My boy left about two weeks ago . . .
We are hoping against hope that this thing will soon come to an end and that we will get our boys back again, this terrible thing seems like a rotten nightmare and damn the man or men that are responsible for it . . ."
