months before l reached my company.

Ten of the men were later recalled to

LETTERS FROM OVERSEAS
saumm Artillery School,

oduuiu AIllliefy SCHOOL,
Saumm, France,
August u, 1918
To the Editor of Milford Chronicle.
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir
Without a doubt you will wonder
who ! am and where l hail from, so
for an Introduction / will say l am
an old reader of your paper and Fred
erica is my home.
You will wonder why l am writing
TO you, but that would be a long story
if l went into details, so this much 1
will tell you On July 14th and 18th
l was in the great offensive Of the
Marne. and on July 18th my regiment
crossed the river at Chateau Thierry
and stopped in the city for dinner
(hard tack and water) and while
there l started to look through an old
chateau, and the first thing that l
saw, staring at me in big bold letters,
were the words Milford Chronicle. "
Now, how it got there | can't say.
/ mention this because it shows that
a good paper, even though small, may
have great circulation. Now maybe
you think | wasn't glad to get that
paper, and l am going to keep it, and
II all goes well, | am going to bring
II back to the states with me-
1t may be of interest to you to know
that | am lucky enough to be in this
school now. l can't go into details,
but will say that on July 18th l was
decorated for -, and that later
was recommended to this artillery
school. That is all l can say now.
But l think if all Delawareans
would appreciate the Chronicle as I
did that copy, that you would have to
enlarge your printing room, and also
enlarge your Office force.
l beg to remain,
Yours truly,
Sgt. Charles H. Moore,

Somewhere in France,
August II, 1918.
My Dear Sister,
Just received four letters from you
and one from mother; certainly was
glad to get them and was very much
pleased to learn that everything was
so well at home. l wrote you this
morning, but as / hadn't received your
letters, I didn't have much to tell you.
So now l will try to answer the ques-
tions you asked me so far as / can.
Now, as to where / am, l am not al
lowed to tell, but you could find it
very easily on the map. You would
be safe if you were here with me, for
l am not near enough to the front to
be in danger. OF course would
rather be IN the states. You see IL
you were allowed to tell where YOU
were located, some one might get the
news to the Kaiser, telling where our
camps are and our lives would be in
danger. l can tell you this much
am in L.. See If you can guess
the rest, it isn't Leta, but it might
sound like it.
