From: Ulric J. Bell and fambly:
To: Robert the House of Yum-Yum Castle:
Subject: 1918-1919-1920.

Dear Robert:
Mrs. B and I have just removed your name from the list
headed "Missing in action." Until your much appreciated Christmas
card arrived, we had despaired of ever learning your address. Howjeget
ourn?

Well. My only honest suspicion at this juncture is that
you have reached the stage whereat you no longer consider the WAR
so vital a happening. Zatso? That's us. We warm up much more quickly
to the plate of hamf and eggs than we do to martial music.

Mrs. Bell, who, at my side, intended to direct the writing
of this letter, remarks at this point that it is getting silly. The
remark is sufficient unto the occasion. So we are back to convention.
Whatever in thunderation became of you after Gordon? How is Mrs. H.?
What are you doing in the Carolina wilds? Do they literary bacilli
still infest the noggin? And when will the last of the stirring tales
of Yum Yum reach the printer?

Categorical answers to the above are hereby ordered. Further
information will be appreciated. As for myself, well --- Camp Perry; then,
