D.J. Wright In A French Hospital Now

Had Been Taken Prisoner by Germans After Being Wounded. Family Now Gets Letter Written by Him
    Coach David S, Wright of Northampton high school had the great pleasure yesterday of receiving a letter written by his son, David J. Wright, who was first reported missing in action in the European war front, but who was later reported liberated from a German prison when the great surge by American Armies swept the Germans back. He was then transported to a French hospital.

    The letter, written by his son, was in his own handwriting and said he was coming along well now, after being wounded in the advance of the Allies five months ago. It was after being injured that he was taken prisoner. Everyone will rejoice with Couch Wright and his family and hope for his boy's speedy recovery and a return to his native homeland.
