Letter From Clyde M. Sherman
Dear Father:
I got your letter of Aug. 4th
just yesterday. You did not
seem to know that I was in En-
gland. Did you not get the noti-
fication card announcing my ar-
rival? I filled it out on the dock
just before we boarded ship.
Of course you might not have
had time to get it, for as you
should know by now, we didn’t
land until July 31.
Nothing has happened here to
write about, so I’ll just about
say hello and goodbye.
I would tell you what I think
about England and the English
people, but I’m afraid an English
censor might not like it, s) I
won’t say it. Of course 1 don’t
want to leave the impression
that England is “all wrong” but
there is so much difference be-
tween a Tommie and a yank that
a yank can’t even think of En-
gland as civilized. But the Au-
stralians (or “aussies,” es we
affectionately call them), the
aussies a d the yanks are the
best pals ever. The Canadians
and yanks are of course good
pals, too, but a Canadian is noth-
ing more or less than an Ameri-
can. There is something about
an aussie that the yanks like, and
there seems to b something
abont the yanks that the aussies
like. Anyhow there couldn’t
possibly be a stronger bond of
friendship between the nations,
and the “great war” caused it.
I was real sorry to hear about
Joe Ferrell being wounded; I
hope it was nothing serious. I
almost envy him, he can at least
say he helped to win the war,
whil^ here I am stuck in England
and a prospect of peace beiore 1
ever see France.
I just read President Wilson’s
reply to the Austrian peace note,
and for the benefit of the folks
at home, 1 can say that the army
backs him up, even to the terms
Grant offered Lee, namely, ' Un-
conditional and immediate sur-
render.”
1 thought I told you about my
pay. I took out an allotment oi
filteen dollars a month, in Janu-
ary, but they lost the paper and
1 never did make out another.
But I can’t understand about the
insurance policy. I have paid
$6.40 per month all the time and
you should have received the
policy. You might write to the
War Department Washington,
mention my name and number
107318*2, and enquire about it,
and I think they will send you
the paper. But policy or no pol-
icy, 1 have the insurance. But
I have been drawing all my pay
(except for insurance) all the
time. I got paid off again last
Friday, the 13th. Drew 51bs, 11s
8p, about $26,50—three dollars
for overseas duty,
Well, I must close and write to
someone else.
Your Son,
Clyde M. Sherman,
Clyde W. Freeman
Somewhere in France,
Aug. 10.1918.
Miss Verna Freeman:
My Dearest Sister: —Your most
kiud and welcome letter received
a few days ago, I’ll try to answer
This is Saturday, the 10th, if I
am not mistaken. Ha, ha! 1
harnly know the day of the week
or month any more.
This leaves me feeling fine and
hope it will find you all well* I
am always anxious when the
mail comes to get a letter from
home, and I nearly always get
some mail. I hope you all get
all the letters I send you.
No, sister, I do not get my pay
very often April was my last
pay iponth, so you see I have al-
most four months’ pay coming to
me. This month ends mv Lib-
erty Loan Bohds that I had taken
out for you. I hope you get some
kind of a hearing from them. I
said this month, but it was July.
My amnsement is the roarir g
of cannons and shapnel whist-
ling around my head. Ha, ha!
maybe you think it is time to
ihink of everything then and
think of home and all. I some-
times think it is a great war, if
I don’t weaken.
I kuow you surely had a great
time the Four*h. I went in bath-
ing with a crowd of youngsters
at a seaport off ;n Forton, Eng-
land. That was my last time in
bathing. I used to go bithing
lots down in Travis, in the park.
Oh, I surely wish I was back at
Camp Travis, I was in the only
camp in the world, and didn’t
know it.
You spoke of the French girls.
Well, I haven’t seen a single one
in five or six weeks, but they
sure are some pretty guls here,
and some rich ones too, believe
rue, iia, ha!
Sister, I picture in my mind
the day when I come home—the
eats I surely will get. I can al-
most taste some of that good cake
now, chicken, pie and all those
good things: and I hope the time
will not be long. I hope every-
thing is well at home. I have
just got through sewing buttons
on a new shirt I got today.
I wrote Mr. Bannister and
mama a letter and sent it off this
morning, and as I have time I
thought I might as well write
you a few lines. I guess you all
have lots of ripe watermelons
and tomatoes. I know you did
enjoy the meetings for you al-
ways did. And sister, that was
a difference between ,us. but I
don’t think that difference will
be there any more. I wish we
could call back the days when
we used to go to church at old
Sugar Grove, when we were
little folks, but time does change.
1 have wrote a letter to Cousin
Tennie more than once since I
have been over here; you know'
1 am going to spend a long time
at Cousin Tennie’s when I get
back.

You must send me lots of those
little kodak pictuies for I sure do
like to get them.
Well, do you know where
Floyd is at now? I have never
seen nor heard of any of the
boys since I have been here, but
I hope to run on to some of them
some time soon.
Well I guess my censor will
get tired reading this, so I’ll
close for this time, hoping to
hea- from home often. Tell Les-
ter I'll answer his letter soon.
Yon all must not be uneasy
about me; just take good care of
everything and everyone at home
so all will be well when I return,
and I’ll get by fine.
Tell all hello, and give them
all myjoye.

Your Help Needed.
It will be impossible to stamp
out the influenza if all don’t help.
Where there are cases no one
should leave their homes or allow
visitors until the danger is past.
Closing of school and churches
will not entirely do the work if ,
the people are careless and let
those affected roam the streets
and gather in crowds. If you .
want to keep the disease away
from you, keep out of crowds,
and be sanitary in your home
surroundings.
