     "A letter from Will Matlock" - taken from the Bandana Crayon of January 10, 1902,

     during his stay in the Philippines confirming the death of his brother.

     Dear Sister: Your letter of September 9th received today and was glad to hear from you

     again. Well Annie, this is going to be a very difficult letter for me to write, as it

     contains news that hurts me, but I will write it the best I can.  Our Company has been

     moved to the Samar Island as I stated in my last letter.  On our way here we had to come

     about 25 miles down a river in Bancos - native skiffs - to take the transport, and the

     Banco John was in, struck something in the water and was overturned.  It was loaded with

     ammunition and rations and contained about 15 - 20 soldiers, all of whom have reported

     except four and John was one of those four. It happened Oct. 8th about nine o'clock at

     night and we left Oct. 10th.  The water was so high and swift some think he may have

     caught to some of the boxes and floated a long way down stream before he could land. 

     I have heard nothing nothing from him and I believe he was caught by the stuff in the

     skiff and drowned.  It is awful, awful!  I would have written sooner about it, but my

     company's commander thought they may show up in a few days, but too many days have passed

     and brought no news of him.  The last time I saw him was about the middle of May - I would

     have seen him in another hour if his boat hadn't went down, and just to think that the

     body may never be recovered.  This paper was in the wreck.  I do not know what I will do now,

     fight my way through all alone I guess, for a fellow has no friends in the army that he can

     trust.  It is as I told the boys in my company, I had ten times rather had it been me than

     John, for he has so many friends there that will hate so much to hear of this.  My life in

     the Philippines will be of no enjoyment to me now as I will have to live it alone.  John

     had several letters in his pocket for me when the accident happened.  I think one of them

     was from Nora.  I got my first letter from her today in which she said she had written to

     me and enclosed one of the Baby's pictures.  I have not heard from Dell yet and don't know

     what to think of him.  I am still in good health - don't think I ever had better, but good

     health will not be much pleasure to me now.  Of Course, grieving will do no good, we all

     have to go some day, sooner or later.  There is one thing I am proud to say, I have quit

     drinking, but there are many many things in the army to ruin a young man.  I have received

     no pay in over four months and don't believe we will be paid for two months yet, so I will

     have something over $90 coming to me.  You said in your letter that President McKinley was

     shot.  We got the news here as soon as it was done.  I was in Manila at the time and there

     was great excitement there over the affair, as I suppose was the case in the states.  My

     mind is so tore up I can't think of anything else to write so will close for this time,

     hoping this will find you all well.  I expect to see in your letters that some of you are

     sick.
