Letters to Marie - September 24, 1918 (Al lands in France)




Somewhere in France
September 24, 1918

Dearest Wife

Arrived safely and I am still on ship, will leave tomorrow morning for the camp. I sure was surprised to hear I was selected to go. I sure had an awful trip, but I am glad it is over and at last I am over here.

Dearest baby I will write to you as often as I can so you won’t worry. I have an awful lot to tell you.

Save your money for I don’t know when I will get paid. I will make? As soon as I can.

Dearest I am dying for some love, and I miss you and I will keep you in front of me all the time.

I can’t tell you anything about dates and places but will write you a long letter as soon as I can and you probably will get another one before this one. I expect to see John soon.

Love and kisses to Jack, Estelle and Al, love Fred and Estelle.


Millions of kisses and bushels of love to the sweetest baby on earth

From your lonesome daddy Al.
