Your pal, Jack .

In the Trenchs, June 14.

Friend Al : I am all most to nervous to write Al but anything is better then setting around thinking and besides I want you to know what has came off so as you will know what come off in the case something happens.

Well Al Simple Simon’s gone. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive or what the he‑ll and all as we know is that he was here last night and he ain’t here today and they hasn’t nobody seen or heard of him.

Of course Al that isn’t all we know neither as we can just about guess what happened. But I have gave my word to not spill nothing about what the boys pulled on him or god knows what Capt. Seeley would do to them.
