Flanders, Sept 18/16

Dear Daughter Margaret:-

Daddy got your letter safe the other day it was a long time coming & Daddy was kind of hungry for something from home. Mother tells me you really & truly want Jesus to be your King. To rule your life. He is a good King to have the best & Daddy has always been so glad he gave his life to Him. He gave it back to me & so much more, mother will tell you how much. but Daddy has been so glad ever since & today while every one is fighting with one another & trying to kill Daddy knows Jesus keeps him isn't it good to have a King like that. Now goodbye & God bless & keep my Margaret for Himself is your loving Daddy's wish

Goodbye with love & Kisses. Daddy
