WRITES HOME TO SISTER.
The following letter from Joe
Nuckolls who is now in France, to his
sister, Miss Stella Nuckolls, of our
city, will be read with interest by his
many friends here at home. When
this brave boy was a youth of thir
teen or fourteen years he was em
ployed by the Independent, and mem
bers of the office force who were as
sociated with him then, are especially
interested in him, and hoping that
he will return safely to the states, af
ter the war is won.
Somewhere in France,
June 25th, 1918.
Dear Sister:
I will write you a short letter now,
after so long a time. I arrived safe
ly in France, without any excitement
on the way over. We are now drill
ing hard, and in the near future, I
think we will take our place on the
firing line, as we have a good bunch
in our battery and I am sure every
one will do his best to get in read
iness for real action. Hut we may
all want to get away from the front
as bad as we want to get there. How
ever, you know there is not much
danger of a “Sammy” running, for
they are not of that kind of stuff. I
cannot tell you of my trip over or my
stay in France, or very much of any
thing we do, for the censor is strict,
and it’s little we can say. I cannot
understand any of these people ot
course, and when they talk to us we
stand around and act like a lost boy
at a circus.
When you have, finished this send
it to my sister at Auvergrfe, as one
letter will have to do for both of you
My paper is sarce and my money is
more so.
Joe Nuckolls.
