Dear Mother: Received your letter the other day, but I am getting tired of writing. Of course I will write, but if you don't get a letter when you expect it, don't get excited and think that there is something wrong. I received a letter from cousin Sid­ ney the other day and answered it ' right away. I have lots of writing just to answer the ones I get. I haven't received the candy as yet, ,.fbut will get it if you sent it. > Last night we had a big wrestling Jfomatch at the Labrisa. Berg, of our bunch, threw a Konk (Cuban) in two straight falls. The Konk has wrestled -4 all over the United States, but our #§ boy is good. I boxed six rounds with a private from here. He quit in the seventh. I feel tired today and am | glad that there are no drills. I slept •j.. until 8:30 as there wasn't any reveille. We have a little of everything here. • Y Some can sing, while others can do ; anything to shining shoes. Tailors, I cooks, bakers, musicians of all kinds, •A boxers, swimmers, etc. I never saw such a bunch. , I had a fine time on our trip, trav- jjK' ' eling thru keys so thick with under- •" '• .brush, etc., (tropical plants) that we a1'.;• had hard time landing. We got some ft- .. , cocoanuts and took a few pictures, but . the mosquitos drove us off. "Vfe went fishing and caught about 200 fish of Iff--)' different species. We had them for ^ dinner the following day. We all got K, * , a little sea sick, but had a good time. * * I saw a few fish ranging in size from 1, six to eight feet long. They don't ^ catch these, as they fight sharks. I |gf|fv ' haven't patience enough to tell all IJr.tr about them. Of course when I write to t> jj, . anyone I do a good job, but I'm in a t , hurry now. C-X-- There is considerable talk about our I jt* . goiAg to France. I am sure I do want ir'tfjy-.. to go there and see the finish. I „c- y think the Germans are about beaten vA, » and we are all anxious to get there be- C&" 5f„ fore they give up. We are drilling a ^f lot harder now, so I think there is ^ , something up. We are getting ready • for something.

Address: V. 3. CHENEY ft CO., T«l*dO, Sold by all Drucglst*, Its. * (From Woodcliff Paper] 7*l<0ngevity has been ascribed to many reasons, but those of Mrs.'E. E. Thomas, who will celebrate her nine­ tieth birthday at the home of hef daughter, Mrs. Charles Dickinson, of 1025 Park avenue, Woodcliff, today, gives the simplest ol all. They are: Hard work, Christianity, cheerfulness and temperateness. Mrs. Thomas is a remarkable old woman. She is by no means-feeble and gets around as well as many women half her age. The only de­ fect she suffers from is that h£r hear­ ing is gone. This, she says, is counter­ acted by her 'listener,' l>£rs. Dickin­ son, who by slowly moving her lips makes her mother understand what she is saying. She is small, with white hair and has a kindly disposi­ tion. To look at her genial expression and hear the pleasant things she has to say one would not think that she is the grandmother of a family of war­ riors. She has eight descendants who are warriors and one a federal court judge. Born In MiddleBury "Mrs. Thomas was born in Middle- bury, Genesee county, ,New York, July 14; 1827. When she was nine years old her parents set out for Illinois in a covered wagon drawn by a horse. They arrived safely at the point of destination after many trying exper­ iences. The family staked a claim and her father, who was considerably of a speculator, built up many parts of the state. He owned the first hotel there. "The descendants of Mrs. Thomas are: Brigadier General Earle D. Thomas, retired, who took the first troops to the Mexican border at the recent trouble there, and a veteran of the Civil war, is a son; Harold Thomas Dickinson, an expert on muni­ tions, now in London, is a grandson; Colonel Robert Alexander, training recruits at Fort Ogelthorps, Va., is a grandson-in-law; Colonel Charles J. Symmonds, stationed at the Texas border, is a grandson-in-law; Dr. A,, H. Thomas, of Staten Island, captain in the Medical Reserve Corps, is a grandson; Captain Benjamin Wade, stationed at Fort Myer, Va., is a grandson and also grandson of Sena­ tor Benjamin Wade of Ohio; Captain William Alexander, stationed at An- sona, is a great-grandson; Robert Earle Symmonds, who graduates at West Point August 30, is a great- grandson; Judge Edwin S. Thomas, federal judge, sitting in New York, is a grandson and Captain Norton S. Owen, stationed at Fort Sheridan, is a grandnephew. "Brigadier General Earle Thomas was infected by the war fever at the age of fourteen. He was too young to enlist, but he found a way in which he could serve his country during the Civil war. He ran away,from home and became buglar for the troops commanded by General Charles Farns- worth. After the war General Farns- worth was elected to congress and was instrumental in placing Mr. Thomas in military training. "Mrs. Thomas has received numer­ ous congratulatory communications from men of high standing in military. She received a message from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who wished her many more years of happiness. The birthday party to be conducted tomor­ row will probably bring many noted persons to tfie house to honor the woman who is so fortunate as to have so pany descendants in the service of the country." Mrs. Thomas is a sister to Mrs. E. M. Owen of this village and has vis­ ited here many times and therefore will be favorably remembered by a number of McHenry people.
