U.S. Naval Base, 27, European Waters, October
10, 1918.
"I received the papers you sent me and it surely seemed
good to read news from home. These were the first papers I
have received since I left home July 4th. I suppose everybody
wonders what I am doing. Well, in regard to that, I can give
no explanation, but I am doing my share, as I know all the other
fellows are doing. Although I cannot say, I am in a part where
we have great trouble with the Huns' submarines. I read Forrest
Rosenburg's letter in the News, which is very interesting, and
I know 'Rosy' will give the Germans some battered faces."
