World War, 1914-1918 -- Correspondence.

"...We have made two trips to the camp, Bird and I, for Kendall is takiing a day off--and on one of them visited in the hospital. By luck I got into the tuberculosis ward...."

"...Yesterday was a hard day and I was almost too tired to stand. At night I took part in 7 services and preached 6 times. At the Signal Corps at 10 in the morning I preached to about 135 men...."

"...I was at the hospital in the morning where a wounded man told me a story that upset my stomach and I had to get out in the air...."

"...So I hope to be home on Thursday next to stay. And I'll be as glad as these soldiers to get home, even though this work is in many ways the most interesting I've ever done...."

"The night shirt came tonight and it was a blessing because I'm sure this old one was so dirty that it would have had cooties soon...."

"...I had a pretty busy day yesterday although I had only 4 services as compared to my usual 6 or 7. But things were upset in the house. A Methodist minister from Kentucky who came here to stay over night...was taken ill himself on Sat. night...."

"...John is asleep and mother is amusing the baby. At last, we have found one thing that has made her so fretful...she must have been troubled with earache...."

"Do you know what a 'suckawing' is? It sounds like some kind of a bird, doesn't it? That is what John calls Harris' velocipede...."

"We got home about 3 o'clock and found the house nice and warm. There is no place like home!...."

"...I know you are anxious to know how the youngsters are and that is why I am writing. For the last two days the baby's breathing has been much better...."
