L. Wilson has receivec the following letter from his son: France, June 22, 1918. Dear Daddy: I guess you have received my letter telling you I was wounded. Of course I can’t tell you the place where I was wounded only that a three inch shell landed within about six feet of me and exploded. It came right by my bead and burst back of me, a fragment of it about the size of your finger hit me right between my left shoulder blade and and spine and another piece hit me just below my left hip, not as bad as the first. I was the only one hurt by the shell. I am in a Red Cross Hospital "somewhare in France” and am better. The day before I was wounded I was gassed slightly, but it has about left me. I recieved two large burns on my thighs and have been unable to speak for about ten days, but thanks to the good, quick, and efficient attention I received. I am much better, and in a few more weeks will be well. I will close for, this time. Write Soon. With love to all, Your son, J. D. Co. K, 26th. Inf.
