FROM SEYMOUR HAYS.
Fort Meyer, Va.,
March 25, 191‘8.'
My Dear Father, Mother and Sisters:
I received your letter this morning
and certainly was glad to hear from
you and sorry to know mother has
been sick. I am feeling fine.
We arc having some pretty weather
here. The nights are cool and the
days are warm and nice. We took a
long hike this afternoon with packs
on our backs. You will find enclosed
a slip of paper I cut out of the Wash
ington Herald. We have turned our
: ington Herald. We have turned our
j rifles in. I guess we will not
i have to do any fghting, but you
i can never tell. I hope not any way.
i What is the news around Newport
any way? We are getting very good
eats now, I wish that I wasn’t go
ing so I could get my candy and
cake, but it is too late now to send it.
I have just finished putting out my
washing so it would dry over night.
There is a picture on at the Y. M. C.
A. but I thought I would do my
washing and write you all. I guess
we will drive cars “over there.” I
don’t know much more to write, so I
will close.
With best wishes,
Seymore.
ATTENTION.
All embers of the Home Guard are
requested to meet Sunday afternoon
at the Court House at 2:30. Matters
of importance to be considered.
