Bloomfield, O.
Dear Bro:-
Received your card this morning was glad to hear from you. It doesn't seem possible that you are so far away. Ray is down in Ga. He didn't want to go so far South. He said it isn't what w want but what we get in this life. No Johnny, I am not any better but still eat like a pig. Stella called up Mamma this morning said they sent Arthur H. back home. Can't do anything for his eyes. He has to buy his own glasses. he ones he had he can't use them. He has to send back his uniform but I suppose he will be willing to do that. Mamma said her dada was feeling real poorly this morning. Coreta is home now. We had a big washing for the preacher this wk. Carrie Corwin-Mary Gardner run off to Kentucky and got married.
Mrs. Truex said Raymond wrote you a letter. He has been wondering why you don't answer. I don't know if you received my last letter or not. I wrote you one and mailed it on the 17th. Got your card the 18th. Have you had any mailed to you fromKy. Ennice mailed you a card same day we got yours. Floyd has gone to bed. You wouldn't know him he is so sunburnt. Mary is well wondered if you got your chewing gum she sent you. Did Mamma tell you that Rob Snow sold his farm? Melvin Gigler bought it. They don't know where they will go. Sylvia said they haven't heard from Carl Snow for 2 mon. Don't know where he is. Stumps haven't heard from Homer since Mar.
Did you beller and paw when you saw so many girls like you use to when you were up around here. Saw your sister Mrs. Gray had quite a talk with her. Said both girls had gone back to work. I suppose they have told you Madge Pearl is married. Well I guess this is enough for I am tired and I know you are. So good night my soldier brother and Gof bless you and keep you safe.
Good-bye,
Write when you can XXX

Dear Uncle,
I received your card and was sure glad to hear from you. Ennice was just a yelling at Olive to give hima pece of candy, but Ennice got "stung." Mr. Vansickle told papa that Ennice was stuck to Olive when papa wanted him. He was as in playhouse with her. Willie Sears and Mrs.Cero were having a fight with their mouth tonight over a watch Mrs. Taylor found.
Raymond, Jim Wilcox, George Barr - and I don't know how many more - went with Raymond in his machine to Utica and all came home drunk. Jake Wilcox has a bandage on his head yet. They threw bottles every way. I guess Raymond couldn't run his machine home. He just went past going to Centerburg. I guess he was in his buggy. I was at Clarence's last week and went to Liberty twice. Once with Shirmp girls and once with Clarence to take Uncle Willie home. We went to Mt. Vernon Friday. Aunt Luella got her teeth pulled. Saturday night we cam home about half past nine. Ora was here and stayed till eleven o'clock. I wrote a letter to Louis Monday. I guess you can't read this. Ennice and mamma have been talking and teasing me. I guess mamma and the rest of them are going to get me a fountain pen for my birthday. It costs $1.50 with a gold pen and a gold place for initials.Then I can write.
Ora showed me Opys picture last Sunday. Edith and Dart sang "We're bound to get the Hauser a Wk ago at Hedding. She or Edith talks about you nearly all the time. She said she had two soldier boys to writ to now.
Well I guess that's all I don't know what BBSHG.
Good bye,
Coreta
