"RECOVERING FROM WOUND
General Hospital No 2
Fort McHenry,
Baltimore, Md. Jan. 14 1919
Dear Sister,
Your letter received today, was glad to hear from you and glad to know you are all well. As for myself I am O. K. and I think I will be out soon. I don't think I will be discharged before February or March, but if I don't get my discharge soon I will try to get a pass and come to see you all.
Well Mary, I did not get hurt very bad, just got my fingers broken and blood poison set up and I had a lot of trouble. I came very near losing my hand, but I am about well now. Sister I don't know how bad Craig was hurt, I saw him the day that I was going into the lines in September. I got hit the 30th day of September and I have been in the hospital ever since I landed in U. S. A. the 11th day of December.
Mary, many thanks for the $5.00 because I haven't any pay since July and I haven't had any mail since about the first of August. I went into the lines the 1st of August, at Albert, France, and then to the Verdun front. I was in the town of Verdun and it is all shot down, just like all towns in the war zone - they are all shot to pieces. I had some things to bring back with me but they were stolen from me. Tell Bob I intended bringing him a helmet, but could not as everything that I had was stolen.
Your brother,
G. G. Worsham"
