To the Editor of The Robesonian
I am a Robesonian undergoing treatment in the U.S.V. hospital here in Oteen, and have improved remarkably since I came here last June. There are over 800 patients here in Uncle Sam’s hospital chasing the cure. It seems that the war is not over with us, as we still feel the effects. To hear the boys tell of the times in France and to see them chasing the cure, one could not help from thinking of 1917 and ’18 years. We are showing the same spirit here in Oteen that we did Over There, and Uncle Sam is on the job; he is right with us boys, as he was Over There.
We had a real merry Christmas. All the boys on I-8 received Christmas boxes from many parts of N.C. This showed that we were not forgotten.
We also had two light snows before Christmas and the Blue Ridge was very white and the thermometer registered 2 below zero. I am sending a dollar bill for six more months, for the home paper is a letter from home, so send it over. Best wishes to The Robesonian and its readers.
