Show uu MIS CULL TELLS OF HIS COMLESGIK W1SPITSL A letter was received recently by A. C. Call from his son Orvis, who was wounded July 2S in the American offensive and has since been in a hospital, hos-pital, telling in an interesting manner man-ner of his life there- Young Call was with David Jeppcrson, news of whose death was received a day ago, and in a former letter to his father remarked that after he was wounded and was moving to the rear to a dressing station sta-tion he looked back to the battle field with keen interest and wondered what had become of his companions. His letter follows: "Dear Mother.: I am in the best of health but am still in bed. I tried to get up this morning. 1 got out of bed all right but was so weak'that I could not stand. My wound is healing fast., It seems queer-, but it hasn't given me more than ten minutes pain since I was shot. Mother, I think I was rather ra-ther a lucky bird to get shot where I did. I have thanked the Lord a thousand times that I am living today. If I don't get more than a few wounds in this war, I will think I am the luckiest luck-iest man alive. ; "Keep yourself up with good spirit and don't discourage yourself by worry. wor-ry. (I don't)." |
