A P. Sell Wounded Writes Cheerful Letter Home

The following is a letter received by R. E. Sell last Saturday from his son, Alfred, written August 16^th, bringing them the news that he had been wounded and was then on his way from France to England.

Dear folks and all;

As I will be able to sit up today will try and write a few lines. I am in the hospital at present but am getting better, so don’t get excited when you read this. It is nothing serious at all, had one knee and hip dislocated and a shrapnel wound in the other knee, but I am getting along fine. Wanted to write sooner but could not move in bed so simply had to wait until I could sit up. I will be sent to England tomorrow. Use my same address when you write until you hear from me again.

Your loving son and Brother, Al.
