The letters in this section were shared with the website by John Hays from Pikeville, KY.  They were part of a scrapbook that he bought on Ebay.  These are letters from Sergeant William Kelly to his mother written while he was on the Neshoba enroute from Seattle to Yokohama (and a couple of days before he sailed). 

There are also a number of articles from the Trident Tribune which are in the dispatch section that were also shared...they were produced by the 97th Division while they were aboard the Neshoba.

Like almost all of the material on the site, we can thank the people who saved the material and the people who were kind enough to share it so that the history of these men can be preserved.
