France
Aug. 18, 1918
Dear Sister –
I haven’t heard from you in about three weeks and have not had time to write to you either, but here goes. We are travelling so fast, I guess they can’t get the mail here fast enough to catch us. I saw a fellow by the name of Gustafson that used to work on Durgy’s grocery wagon today and he told me that a whole battery from Danbury was right near me and I am going to try to get over and see them. He said H. Durgy and Kelly and several others from the coast artillery. I also ran into a couple of Ansonia boys here and there are quite a few in two or three of the companies and we sort of had a family reunion, telling of our experiences in France and of what the papers had to say. Did you and Mother receive the pictures I sent you? There isn’t much news over here except that Fritzie is backing up so fast that we almost have to run to keep up with him. The papers give more news in the states than what we get except for what we see. I don’t know whether this is on the lines or not. It is so dark I can’t see well so will say goodnight.
George
