Dearest Mother;
Here I've been gone almost three weeks and never written
once to you personally. I really feel
ashamed. It isn't that I've neglected
you in my thoughts. I think of you
always and my thoughts are of gratitude for your kindness, love and help.
Mother, I thank you most of all for your daughter. I love Laura with all my heart and I think
that the things I love in her most are the things her mother has taught her.
I have missed her so much it will be like heaven to have
her here with my by Friday. She and the
darling little son she bore me are two of the happiest possessions I have in
the world. I promise to protect them
with all my love and life. I’ll bring
them back to you soon for I’m sure Zion has too great a hold on us to let us
stay away very long. My job will very
probably end with the war which won’t last long.
Thanks darling mother for being so kind as to keep my
loved ones while I found a home for them here with me. Someday (from now on I hope) will try our
hardest to repay you for this as well as all the other kind gestures you have
made toward us.
We have a fine branch of the church here. The people are of the top rank in both your
and my ways of thinking. I’m sure Laura
will enjoy it. We’ll write and tell you
all about it after Laura gets here. God
bless and keep you.
Your
loving son, Harold
P.S. Tell Wid & Edna and
family - Helen and Mont Jennette & Burnell and family and Pearl I’ll (will)
write soon and in the mean time - all my love and thanks for the help you all
so generously gave H.E.C.
