A letter came Friday morning to Mrs. Frank Mailhot, of High street, “|from her brother, Private Philip Ro- berge, recently officially reported se- verely wounded in France. Private Roberge writes that he is feeling very well and was able at the time the let- ter was written to be up and to walk about the Hospital grounds. He gave no description of the' nature of his wounds, but as he is patently able to walk and to write it is assumed that Lie has not been permaneutly crippled, at least to any great extent, in -the - |injuries he received while assisting in driving the Germans back from the Marne. Private Roberge is a mem- ber of a machine gun bati . Be- fore entering the army through the - |operation of the selective service he was a membet of the Connecticut Na- tional Guard.
