LETTER FROM LIEUT. STEVENS The following letter received by Mrs. E. J. Jerrell, from er brbth Lieut. Norman L. Stevens, U. S. N. U. S. S. ARKANSAS Europe From Lieut. Norman L. Stevens, U. 5. N. To My Dear Sister, Brother and Parker: Without any exception this week has been the most wonderful in the history of the world and we ourselves have been in the thick of the history making. Every hour, every moment in fact, has been one of changes almost beyond our power to grasp. The week for us will live as long"as we ourselves and for future generations, as long as there is life. The censorship on the mail | was lifted Wednesday. At first it was difficult to believe the news, and then a reaction came with such a force that we began to write all the names and events that have been forbidden. It still seems daring to say sq, but we on the "Ark" are now anchored in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, as a unit of the Sixth Battle Squadran of the Grand Fleet. There are six of us "Americans", the U. S. S. New York, Arkansas, Flosida, Wyoming, ‘Texas and Nevada under direct command of Sit David Beatty, G. C. B, G.: CN.0, D. S. O.

During the r-¥iew the King and Prince ofWale« visited the U.8.8. New Mork and were received by the omsers of the squadron. I think all the officers of the 6th B. 8, were on LEL Thursday was the day longest to be remembered, even now I feel as if it must be a dream. Under way at three in the morning the fleet stood out and spread itself over. the North. Sea, miles of towering battleships, buge battle-cruisers, speedy light cruisers and swarms of destroyers. We stood at our battle stations for all the wir as if we expected action at any moment, my station being in the foretop. Peering out into the mist, no one sure what was going to happen, but every mothers son on his, toes, At our fore and main truck wesflew the battleflags, two huge ensigns that waved over us as they waved over us in victories of the past. At 9:16 A. M., out of the haze there loomed the hulk of the leading . enemy | battle cruiser, black and silent, Her guns brig mid L095 a
