The following letter was received
recently by a friend of Mr.. Frank
Shea and who has kindly given us
permission to publish its contents:
Second Aviation Inst Center"
Tours, France.
My Dear Friend:
Your letter of May 1st received
few days ago. Would have answered
much sooner but have been waiting
to get some prints and films which are
being developed so that l could send
you a small snap shot of myself but
after waiting these few days and the
prints have not been returned as yet
thought it best to write now and send
the pictures later.
Still see that the boys are going
away at about the same rate of speed
as ever. Guess that by the time win
ter comes all of the younger boys will
have all gone into some branch of
the service or will have been drafted.
Suppose that you have heard of my
"Kid" brother Henry, who was going
to University of Pennsylvania, had en-
listed in Coast Artillery and is now
at Fort Totten, N, Y. He says he likes
army life fine.
Guess that you will be somewhat
surprised to notice this letter head
ed Tours, France. Well now we are
allowed and requested to have our
mail addressed to us at the town or
city in which we receive mail. Tours
is a very large city and is located on
River Loire, which is called the Mis-
sissippi of France, being the longest
river in France.
Guess you remember me mention
ing some time ago about being located
in a small town, well this town was
st. Maixent in State Deux Serves in
South Western France. Also have
been through Paris on different occa-
sions. Believe me it sure is some
good looking city. Almost no end of
the most beautiful buildings one could
ever wish to see.
Have also been rather close to the
Boche, could hear the big guns bang
ing away all day and night Am now
in Tours and everything is going just
fine with me.
Guess by the time this letter
reaches you will have received my
commission as First Lieutenant
Trusting that you and your mother
and father are well will close.
Yours sincerely,
FRANK A. SHEA.
