Mother’s Day letter from Henry on a war ship
Henry writes from a ship in World War I to praise his mother and father. He recalls the Atlantics accident near the Queen Mary era, credits the Shaw commander for saving lives, and shares a vivid description of Bourges under French fields and village life. He attends Y services, honors mothers, and expresses gratitude for his parents’ training and prayers.
