[[ Inscribed 1918 Letter ]]
July. 1918.
Mother. dear.
Do not worry over me. I’m
alright and tell all my friends
that I died happy. I just was
shot and know that I will die so
goodbye all. Let God bless you.
I cannot write no more. I am
too weak.
Your son.
Louis
Louis Tabor wrote this letter

Columbus from a hospital bed
in France hours before he died
of wounds suffered in a World
War I battle.
