Two of the letters in part:
"I have just had a few minutes to glance through your very interesting volume "War Memories" and I want to tell you how much I appreciate especially the things you have said in your Preface... I want very much to editorialize on it, particularly in my Western papers, where interest is still strong in the disabled men."
"Your bully letter of the second instant has just been brought to my attention and I wish to thank you exceedingly for it. I am so glad to hear that you were interested in my review of your book. It is certainly by far the best book on actual happenings of the World War that I have had the pleasure of reading... ".
Very Good. The letters have yellowed slightly due to age and exhibit some creasing.

One of the letters contains this holograph note along top of page, "Papa- Save this letter. Put in safe- may want to quote from it someday- L".
