1918-03-17 Emily Reynolds to Conger Reynolds Page 5

Father and the other Reynolds have been getting a lot of wood ready and we have enough for a year which will be quite a help. They have been out several day taking their lunch and staying for the day bit of camping as it were at least making coffee to have with their cold lunch. That makes me think about your telling about the French soldier and Red Cross nurse who gave you boys the steaming coffee that put warmth in your bodies and new courage in your hearts. I, too say "God Bless them" It was wonderful It is hard to think of the many things we all could do if only we were there and we can do so little, Father was down to the station this morning when the train went east. He saw will Andrew, "Little Will as his aunt Dora still calls him - for a few minutes.  He told father he had read a letter from you to the Register. We couldn't find it in ours.  A different edition of course, we have been buying it pending subscribing for the Capital. I have sent you papers and will send more this week It seems to me they are very unsatisfactory but you, no doubt will find news if you ever get them 
I forgot to tell you while on that subject that subject that father didn't have time to find out what Will Andrew is doing.
