 Carey, Ida-The bureau of communication of The American Red Cross sent last 
week to Mrs. Isabelle English the accompanying letter concerning her son, John 
M. Talbot, who was wounded in France;
  "Newport News, Va., Feb 18 1919.Mrs. Isabelle English, Carey, Ida."
 "John has returned a wounded veteran of the great war. We rejoice with you 
that he walked down the ship gang plank as happy to be here as we were to 
greet him. He is now in one of the debarkation hospitals at this port to be 
quickly sent to a  general hospital or camp hospital nearest his home for 
discharge.
  The average stay of a wounded man here is from two to four days, Unless you 
live in the immediate vicinity of Newport News, we would strongly advise you 
to wait until he is at his ultimate destination before trying to see him. You 
will be promptly notified  there of the best time and place. In the meantime 
you may be assured that he is not dangerously injured and that medical 
authorities will give him every possible care and the Red Cross will look 
after him in every way at its command. Sincerly yours,"
"AMERICAN RED CROSS,  F. W. Doherty   "Bureau of Communications"
