Letters from World War I

While fighting in the Army during World War I, Grandpa Joseph Kennedy Masterson wrote letters to his future wife, Mary Ethel Peake. Grandma kept all those letters.  Marjorie Cecil current has possession of them. Some of them are very difficult to read. I made no attempt to alter them when I scanned them.
