THOMAS IS STILL IN HOSPITAL

-Lieut. Gwin Thomas, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Gwin of this city and quite well known to many and who has been in debarkation hospital No. 2, Staten island. New York, for many weeks, is gradually improving, says the Monticello Herald, but it will be a long time before he is completely recovered. Uader date of February 6 he wrote his brother Kenneth as follows: “I’m awfully sorry I haven’t written to you soongr. I certainly enjoyed your letters and don’t -frish you to carry out your threat not to write to me any more. Anyway, you must remember the lieutenant is not a well man yet. “Wish I might have some *ou‘ venirs of ‘Helnie’ to send you, but I barely got out with my tunic and my skin and I must wear both. However, I can send you souvenirs of ‘sunny’ France and of the A. E. F., as I have some French coins and you shall have the 'overseas* cap just as soon as I can manage to send it to you. “I think the time is not far off now when I’ll be there to demonstrate that I’m still your big brother and can- lick you still in spite of your ‘terrible right.’ “Just think, six months since 1 I interfered with a ‘Bosh’ shell, but I then* I am surely, if very slowl ”, getting well. It seems strange to read of President Wilson’s visit to Chateau Thierry. That town was no place for automobile tourists when I saw it last.”
