Dearest Hal-Your letter of June 26th came as I
was packing up to leave Saturday. You might have written a nice long letter
while you were not so busy. I hope you are feeling better, but I know you don’t
get over jaundice very quickly. I surely wish they would send you back to this
country.
I don’t see
how they keep well in that awful heat over there. It seems like all kinds of
diseases would flourish. I agree with you in regard to John L. and all of his
followers. So does everyone here but that bunch.
The miners
in many isolated sections don’t read the papers and don’t know what is going
on. The union keeps up a propaganda through their
publications and keeps them stirred up. You hear every day someone saying that
John Lewis should be shot. Also the soldiers write letters home similar to
yours and many are published.
Billy
writes that he is 50 miles from a large town and is moving around so much that
he doesn’t get his mail, has to have it left some place and pick it up when he
has a chance to go there. Said he saw Earl Shiflet
from Churchville somewhere. The only one he has seen that he even knew, though
there must be plenty there that he knows. Toots says her brother is there also
one in
