Nurse.

Dear Mother,

       I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write back. I have been very busy taking care of the wounded. It's a very gruesome job but it must be done. The other day a soldier came to me with his limbs blown off, I tried my best to help him but he had already lost too much blood. He lasted for 2 hours before he finally passed on. It sad, because it's not only wounded soldiers that I tend to, sometimes it is even little children. It breaks my heart to see such innocent little children in so much pain. I just know if you were here your heart would break. I can't wait for this war to be over so peace can be restored and so I can finally return back home. I miss you all so very much and the only thing that keeps me going, in a time of such cruelty, is the thought of you all. My best of wishes and thoughts go out to you all.

            Sincerely,
        Jo-Anna.
