Kenneth Mohr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Mohr, writes as follows from somewhere in the South Pacific: Dearest folks. How is everything back home? Everything is just grand out here. Got a letter from my pal Jake Grimm and he says everything is O. K. where he is.
There is not much to write about. All I can say for the time being is, I am feeling fine and still get plenty to eat and still take my, daily dip in the ocean.
Say hello: to the relatives and give them my best regards. I also want to thank the Legion boys for sending me the paper and the Monitor for putting out such a grand paper.
