in several other places, I suspect this is not the end. How I do wish you could be here for this. I know you would be so proud of her; as it is I'll have to be proud for both of us. We have planned on going home with two of the girls here in Cottey. They live in the heart of the Ozarks, and they want Daphne to put her Musical Comedy on down there. That is the Camp Fire Girls want to give it for the Red Cross - we have always wanted to visit the Ozarks, and in this way we can combine pleasure, and work, and there by Hooverize. I think I ought have been an army General - don't you? - so many of us missed our calling.
Daphne has had so many sweet letters from your "(kinfolk)" all including such nice messages to me - I'm so anxious to meet them, and know them all.  I'm sure if they are at all like their tall handsome soldier boy I'd love them at first sight.
One of the Daily papers recently gave an account of Intelligence Officers entering the German lines and gaining important information. I wonder if you were one of them? Those "Tents" will find out they have something to reckon with one of these days, unless I'm mistaken in the metal in our own brave boys. Honey do you know Madame
