LETTERS FROM
SOMEWHERE"
IN FIR A n CE
FROM LEONARD SATHER.
ROCKVILLE, France,
JanIiary % 1919


Dear Friend John:
Well, it seems like a long time be.
tween drinks, as | have not written
you for a long time. Don't know
that l have written you since / got
over here, but that can't be helped.
l wasn't here long before we went
up 'front.' and believe me, l didn't
have much time to even think of
writing them. Am still in France,
and at that l am glad to be here; the
Germans were sure enough looking
for our coat buttons, ETC., to take
back as souvenirs, and I'm glad that
l am still here, and they didn't get
them. We got theirs, though. We
wound up at the finish up near
Thiancourt We were in the Metz
sector since coming up and have been
up at Pont au Monsoon, st. Mihiel
and several other places where there
was some real sqRpping. We just
moved back here; a week ago, from
Thiancourt and I sure hope that we
move very often back towards a port.
Have no idea OF just when we will BIT
back, but thing it will be sometime
during the spring. OF course, we are
all mighty anxious to be getting back,
but it will take some time, at least, to
move so many men back there. Every
thing is fine with me- We are eating
good, and have plenty of good warm
clothes.Hso everything is Jake. 10 ~ .
One thing in particular. has attract
ed my attention as well7as u thousand
others. l noticed by one OF our a. r..
f. papers that the Elks had donated
one purse Of something like $50, 900
which in istself is no new stunt for
them to pull off, but what tickled all
Of we fellows was to see who they
donated it to. Jack, we were glad,
and we were proud to see that they
had used such good Judgment, and
had given it to the Salvation Army.
If there is any organization that is
going to get support from the men
who were over here, it is just the
Salvation Army, and the Red Cross
I'll be that you will never see an A.
e. F. man go by a drum on a corner
without dropping in two bits if he ha 5
the money. The boys and the lodge at
home may have heard this same thing
long before this, so it may be old
stuff for them, but you can tell them
from me, and a million others, that
we are glad, and we are proud of
them, and boy, we are with them to
man.
These two organizations; the Red
Cross and the Salvation Army have
both done most wonderful things yer
here. All Of the way up, from back
behind the lines a way, right up to
the front lines, these organizations
were with US. Out in the rain and
shine, day and night, in some hole in
the ground, or demolished building,
they made hot doughnuts and cocoa,
all we wanted, and always full OF
cheer. That is what helped out

cans or big high explosive SHELLS did
not make them close up shop. And
here is the funny part of it-instead
Of some old man, they had girls up
there making these doughnuts, and
doughnuts to know that girl can
make them better than a man can
and who in leH would be afraid or
even Disguised or blue. when there
were real American girls up there, do.
ing all of this for the fellows?
