FROM CORP. E.S.WALKER
Folowing is a letter sent us
sometime ago by Mrs. Annie
Sawyers, mother of the writer,
for publication, but we have
received several others, so
many that we could not give
space to them until now. Al- j
though the letter is a few j
weeks old, yet it is quite inter
esting and we gladly give it
free publication.
Camp Mills, N. Y.
August, 22, 1918.
Mrs. Annie Sawyers,
Wiville, Arkansas,
Dear Mother and Dad:—
I received your letter written
by Josh the 13th and was glad
indeed to hear from you all
and to know you all are well.
I am well and feeling fine
except a small stye on my left
eye. Have been on guard all
night. I sure do like this place
better than down m Louisiana,
the weather is so much pleas
anter.
Mama, I have seen the1
sights I have longed to see. |
New York City is some place.
I came down New York har
bour when we came up here.
The first thing I saw was the
Statue of Liberty, it is some
interesting sight. We came
down the Hudson River for
about 300 miles, came through
some long tunnels in those
mountains, it is some of the
most beautiful scenery in the
United States.
I have visited Rockway
Beach which is a most interest
ing place. I can not express!
how I felt when I gazed out
upon the great Atlantic Ocean,
the first thing that crossed my
mind was a German submarine.
There have been some ships
sunk by those horrible things
right here close to New York
City.
We have not drilled a day
since we came here, have been
getting our clothes—you ought
to see me in my little overseas
cap, Ha, Ha!
Mama, I am going to allot
half of my pay, they will not
let us have it all over in France
as our money is worth three
times as much as French money
so you see I will not need it
over there.
They have made me a cor
poral, I did not want it but
Capt. Decanys said he had to
have me for one. There are
two big aviation camps here
within a mile of Camp Mills.
It certainly is some sight to
see those big biplanes flying.
Now, Mama, please don’t
worry about me for I will come
out all right and will be home
some day when this great war
is over to settle down and live
a quiet life. I can not think
it will be very long before this
thing can wind up. So, tell
everybody hello for me and
answer soon telling me all the
news. From
Your Loving Boy,
CORP. E.S.WALKER,
