Letter addressed to Miss Nellie Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Route #2.
Postmarked [Wednesday], August 21, 1918.
16 Battery
O.T. Camp.
Camp Taylor, Ky
[Circa August 20]
Dear Nellie -
Again I am off duty and have just come back from Cokes Station where I had my hair cut and you just can't guess by who. well I will tell you it was a married woman[.] she barbered me while her man did some one else. you will have to come down here and start a barber shop then you can cut my hair to suit. see ha! ha! and you could love any one of the boys who came in. ha! ha! not.
I got my watch to-day and it is O.K. and thank you very much for the fob. it is O.K. sure enough I am going to send you a little present[.] it was the best I could find but if you don't like it to wear lay it aside. will send you a picture when I have them taken, as I had my money order cashed today, but I did not have my coat on so I could not have it taken otherwise, as the coat is what puts the finishing touch on.
It is nice and cool here where I am writing but when I was outside it was hot and I sweat just like I was in the harvest field.
am looking for Alice & you any day now and I don't want to be disappointed, as I have had to[o] many disappointments now.
Well I did a big washing today washed three towels and undershirt and an union suit but have not done any ironing yet and you know that we dont do any down here until we get them on. ha! ha! and they look like S.t. (oh look out now quaker.)
I have not started to school yet and don't know when I will but suppose they will let me know when they get ready for me.
I cant think of much to write today but perhaps I can think of something else after a while. I am going to take this over to the Y.M.C.A. and send it when I mail your Service Pin so that they will come about the same time. wish I had my pictures now so you could see how I look. I sure feel good but don't get much heavier and don't think I will yet a while. I sure eat plenty but have not been able to eat as much as 14 [Sic. Probably meant 4. Could also be read as 1 1/2 ] pieces of pie altho we had apple cobbler today for dinner, and tomorrow we are going to have Indian Pudding for dinner.
I am also going to send a slip I cut out of the Louisville Paper and see if you read it in the Republican.
I have been writting [sic] letters for a fellow who can't write his name is Earnest Minor from the Hills of Kentuck. he is a good fellow but as green as [word indecipherable]. now don't let any one see this letter because they might think that the Army hadn't helped me much toward bettering my character.
Well sweetheart I just received you letter you wrote Aug 18. it sure was some letter. no I don't think Ann is mad as I had a letter from her it was written Aug 7 and I got it about the 14th so you see it did not come straight to me.
Well if it would have been any one else but Ruth [Ligget] & Noel [Lane, his brother] Liggets would talk their old head off about it. I don't care how much they stay together just so they let you alone, but they must not step on your toes as that make[s] my Irish dander arise.
You asked what I did. Well we get up at half past 3 in the morning when I am on duty help get breakfast then serve it, and just as soon as breakfast if over we get the table ready and scrub it with Dutchs then dry it good, also scrub the floor, clean out the ice box, also the storeroom and the bread box. the[n] the meat comes and if beef we have a meat class, for instance if a hind quarter, we say the first thing to do is to cut off all the fat then seperate [sic] the Loin and flank from rump, round and shank, then the round from the shank, next the flank from the loin then it is hung in the ice box, so you see we have some little to do. now it is time to get dinner and we proceed to put on potatoes, beans make corn bread, or what ever is to be done. we have inspection every morning so we have to have every thing ready by nine oclock.
Then when I am not on duty I wash clothes write letters attend the meat class, or go over to the Y.M.C.A. and walk around some so that I got some out door exercise, because to[o] much indoors is not good for me.
Perhaps Octave will get to serve Uncle Sam yet if they keep on I hope so at least altho I don't want to wish any one any bad luck.
No I have not seen Agnes and I don't care to as she is not to my suiting altho any one from home would look good if only a curdog.
Well I havn't [sic] been over to see Mr. Boldery and I don't think I can as it is quite a ways from here.
My God kid I can [not] bear to think of you in camp as a nurse and whatever you do think of your care at home first you are needed there and perhaps I can see you once in a while [if] you are at home but if you get in the Nurse Corpse why I may never, and that is not all[.] you can do your bit at home better than here.
What was the matter with the machine went [sic] it would not go was it out of oil or was it just contrary?
Well if Octave is not careful I will have the best record after all when it comes to Sunday School work as the Preacher never called me down once I just despise to have a class act like they did, but I guess they don't know any better.
I certainly do prize every thing that you send as I did when at home if anything more so because it speaks now for you and love but when at home you could speak for yourself. When you are away it only makes ones love come out stronger and I can think of nothing else but you, and that will keep me as God is my helper.
Wishing you luck I remain as ever yours with all Love
Frank

Dearest -
Thursday afternoon and it is still cloudy and cool. seems as if it will not clear up again. gee I would like to see it clear up.
I am O.K. and have been working hard when on my shift. have my clothes washed ready to start home when I get my discharge but don't know just when that will be.
They are discharging men every day and we expect it soon so get ready for a big time when I land in Ind.
I was lucky enough to get to see the Republican [Versailles, Ind. newspaper] over at the Y. it was Nov 13 so I got many of the latest news. saw who all was sick and who had died[.] it certainly was some death list.
I suppose Charley Duncan and Martin will soon be coming home. I hope so at least.
I want you to be ready to sew my insignas [sic] on my coat sleeves when I get home as you know I am a cook and will get to keep my uniform 4 months.
There is a little girl I am longing to see and I hope it won't be long until I am there as that is where I will land unless I am sick when I get off at Osgood.
Hoping to see you soon dear little ---- [sic] I am as ever your -----------

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie F. Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Rural Route #2, Box 52 Postmarked Sunday, September 22, 1918. <br />Camp Taylor Kentucky [Saturday] Sept. 21, 1918 <br />Dearest, This Saturday evening and again I will write a few lines. I don't know what to think. I have not had a letter yet, and it nearly drives me mad. so I am going to have my address changed and then no matter where I am while in this camp I will get it. sur[e]ly you have written to me before this or have you been to[o] busy. Well, our bunch of new men came in yesterday evening and we had to get breakfast for them[.] if they had not come until Monday I would have got a five day furlough, but the Captain said as they were here I would be needed so I did not get to come as you see[.] but the first time I can get a 48 hr pass I am coming home to see you. Oh! yes, did I have one of my undershirts there when I was home? I can't find it here. I understand we will not get our winter clothes for some time to come. I wish we could have them now. The sun has been shining today but it was cool for all that. I have not had my check cashed yet but when I do I am going to send you fifteen dollars and then you can keep it until I return. will send what I can spare every month when I get paid, and if any thing should happen to me it will all be yours, and no one will be the wiser. I think I will go over to Coke [Station] after awhile and attend the show and see the girls dance and sing. They act somewhat like R-h and E-na - L-b. so you see they are some chickens ha, ha. and have so much paint and powder you can't see their skin. Every thing is going sky high down here such as cigars and candy and I have just about quit[.] I have not smoked any today and only once yesterday[.] they cost to[o] much and I don't like the kind they have either. Oh! you don't know how I long for you especially on Sundays and Saturday afternoon[.] it is just awful to see every one else out here with their sweetheart and not a soul that I know. then is when I think most of you altho you are in my thots all the time day and night. and what better could I have. When this reaches you I will probably be getting ready for my dinner and ready to write again, so when you write send it to - Private Frank Raymond Lane Y.M.C.A. No 152 Camp Taylor, Kentucky don't mistake the no. 152. <br />With love, Frank

Postmarked Friday August 23, 1918.
16 Battery O. T. School
Camp Taylor Ky
Aug 22, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
Again will write you a few lines as I am again at liberty[.] Just went over to the Y.M.C.A. and got some envelopes so that I could send you one of my pictures. they are not extra yet you can see partially how I look in uniform. Had these taken yesterday morning at Coke Station just across the track from w[h]ere we were at first. Am going to send two and you can take your pick and if you don't want both you can give one to Anna & Henry.
Oh! I just received a letter from Louisville Kentucky and you will be surprised just as I was to learn who it was from. Well it was from John Klotters cousin Minnie Klotter and she said that John wrote her I was here, and as she was a friend to every soldier she invited me to their home at 1827 Preston St., Louisville Ky. Now what do you think of that.
I have looked in vain every day this week for you and some of the rest to ome down but guess I am to be disappointed, but oh how I wish you would come if only for an hour. it would be the happiest moment of my life. I received my harp, soap, prunes, cigars, and gum, also the Grit paper, for which I thank you very much. they were all in good shape.
Last night the students had some work to do and did it here where we sleep and of course we got no sleep while they were here and that was about 12 oclock, and this morning I was so sleepy I could hardily [sic] go[.] hope it doesn't happen very often.
It is not so cool today altho it is not hot[.] last night it was cool enough to sleep under the blanket but it won't be very long until we can use our covers all the time.
I wrote Pa & Nell a letter yesterday and suppose by now that they have read them and are ready for another.
When I come home I will make some corn bread for dinner and some hamberger [sic] as I made for supper last night also some orangeade then you can see how I can cook ha! ha! then perhaps you will milk and feed the chickens while I get breakfast see.
Have Carl & Gusta married yet [?] I have heard no one mention them yet altho there is a fellow by name Liggett in this battery.
I suppose you folks have been digging potatoes for some time and are they much good [?] but I guess not as it has been to[o] dry. we certainly use lots of potatoes down here about 50 lbs at a time. we had mashed potatoes chocklate [sic] pudding, dressing, roast beef, gravy, green beans, tomatoes, and ice tea for dinner so you see we have plenty to eat.
That money that you got for those snaps you take that to use at Sunday School and when you put in a nickel put one in for me and if you don't want to do [it] that way use it yourself as I would use it for you if I were there. Oh Nellie you know what my greatest desire was and is and if it can be brought about any way that is right I would that it could be done, because I surely deserve to have a few happy moments in my life so if I come home we can try to bring this about now can't we. I believe you are willing[.] you talked that way once and I believe you. you don't know how your name in my thots helps me[.] it would make any one shun temp[ta]tions if any thing would and we have all kinds here and at all times.
You may think me foolish for writing this but change places with me and see what you would do.
All for this time
Yours with love
Frank

Dear Nellie,
This finds me doing O.K. for such a ride and tramp we went thru, it looks very well so far but don't [know] what it will be later on. it certainly was some sight as we came along. every one waved as if they knew us. We got [in] at 1.30 and had dinner about 2 oclock then after dinner went out in front of barricks where we went thru a drill such as attention - at ease - and etc. will go to bed at 9.30 get up at 5.15 so our time will be occupied tomorrow we will got shot in the arm so they say and will be in quarantine 21 days. My overalls that they gave me are no. 40 so you know that they do not pinch me neither are they in style with the times. James Willson is in a bunk right on my left and Jesse Allen is at my feet and all Ripley Co. boys are together now. I saw Joe Ward he met James and I and gave us a wellcome.
Well I had my bath and still feel good hope I will get along O.K.
Will write more next time as I don't know what else to write now.
With Love
Frank Lane

No. 152 Camp Taylor, Ky Sept. 23, 1918 <br />Dearest Nellie - Well I will keep on writing but I can not understand why I don't hear from you are [sic] any one else. sur[e]ly you have not forgotten me. I am so lonely now that I don't get any letters that I feel like doing most any thing. I just don't know what to do. just think it is going on the third week and no letters[.] it is awful. I ask every day and the answer is no mail. oh! it hurts. they surely don't look after the mail the way they should. Have you seen any of the folks lately and have you been to Sunday School? I wish that I might be able to come and go every Sunday. I was over to the services at the Y.M.C.A. Sunday morning they were good and oh! it made me think of you and home. I got me another comfort so now I have two blankets and a comfort that the Co. gave me and the blanket I brought from home. now I sleep warm. I can't think of much to write but when I get a letter from you perhaps I can write more. <br />I am yours forever <br />Private Frank Raymond Lane Y.M.C.A. No 152. <br />Camp Taylor, Kentucky

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie Rahe, Milan, Indiana.
16 Battery
Officers Training School
Camp Taylor, Kentucky
Aug 24, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
Will write you a few lines and if they come out as they should you will get this Monday. I was again disappointed[.] I wanted to go over to Coke Station but I did not get a pass. oh well such is life in the army.
Received your letter yesterday and am sorry that my people did not ask you to come along, altho as yet they have not been here but may be they will come tomorrow.
Tomorrow we go out to camp just across the road from here[.] it is not very far[.] it is just to get a sight of how to do cooking in the line.
We got word this morning that we will leave this place Sat. next or Sunday, and I don't know what they will do with us as we will get our orders later. perhaps if we have every thing in tip top shape we might get a furlough oh! how I wish we would.
Alice had told me about your father's accident - but I forgot to mention it when I wrote. I hope he is better now.
You can call up Nell and tell her not to write after Wednesday or so that I can get the letters by Friday evening because we might leave and then I would not get my mail. so if you see any one who intends to write tell them to write so I get it by Friday. see as I don't want to miss any mail as that is what keeps a fellow alive down here.
You must not let any one read this letter as I am going to write some that a few must not read.
All I have to say is that if Henry don't think enough of you to bring you down to see me he does not think of any thing but his old money and some day he will find out that it is not all, and he might have to come to war too if they pass that law, and then when he is here he may want some one to come and see him.
If they take all the boys from home the girls will be just as bad off as the hens when you kill the roosters ha! ha! but I hope that it is not so for I believe that we will have won before long then the welcome the boys will get when they come home. it wont be the slacker who stays around home and loves the girls while we are gone. Oh, it makes me quiver when I think how some girls do, have a lover and then just as soon as he is gone allow any Tom Dick, or Harry to go.
I think you did fine with your letters as I have received at least two a week since I have got my address straightened out. But the more the merrier. The cigars are O.K. I have smoked two of them and will try another after while. I have not given any of them away and will not as they have [been] given to me by you.
The roads are crowded with machines again today and I suppose they will be tomorrow but no one that I know.
Now don't forget if to [sic] tell any one you see who is going to write tell them what I said and I will write when I find out where we are going.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
I remain yours, with love
Frank

Dear Louis
Clara telephoned me about your accident. The way she describes the fracture it seems to be a fracture of the fibula. This of itself is not such a serious thing but by all means the ankle should be immobilized by a plaster paris bandage. Let me know if [I] can be of any help to you, and I will be at your service. Hoping everything will turn out all right, I am

Letter addressed to Corporal Louis J. Discher, Co. F, 120 Infantry, 30 Division, American Expeditionary Forces. Address on envelope crossed out. Letter was apparently redirected to other army units before being stamped “Return to Writer.”
Letter No. 45
Friday P.M.
Oct. 25 /18
Dear Brother:
We were very sorry to hear of you being wounded but I was not at all surprised, because having been reading all about the terrible fighting in Le Cateau sector, about the attacks you all made in the face of a very strong defense made my the Germans It did not seem possible that you could escape being wounded or perhaps killed, but I did not feel that would happen as I have a candle burning in St. Francis church every day asking the Blessed Virgin to protect you.
As Otillia wrote you, we received the trench card written on the 27th and on Wednesday received your No. 16 letter written on Sept 13th. [O]n Wednesday night Oct 23rd at nine o'clock the cablegram sent by you was telephoned to 1[st] & Walnut - “Wound slight, improving rapidly.” [W]e have not yet received any official notice or have not seen your name in the lists given in the paper. [A]fter thinking about it we have come to the conclusion that if the wound was so slight, they would not have taken you to a hospital so far away at Bath, England unless that is a special hospital for certain wound[s] that you may have. [V]ery anxious to hear all about it.
Perhaps you are fortunate to be in the hospital as the fighting has continued to be very severe and the Germans are using so much gas the last few days. Write us full particulars concerning your wound and stay in the hospital.
Today they received Letter No. 17 started on the 21st and finished Sept 25th telling that you all were now shock troops. I am really glad the cable came first and I hope you stay in the hospital until you are entirely well. [D]o not leave too soon like you did at Camp Taylor.
Otillia is still in town with Aunt Maggie[.] [S]he took the telephone message, but Albert was still there so he qui[e]ted Aunt Maggie. Monday and Tuesday night we were at home. Wednesday night we went to see Emma and Gertrude Mayer on Highland Ave. [T]hey sure do enjoy their machine. [T]his summer they have been to Mammoth Cave, West Baden, Indianapolis, Lexington and lots of other places. [T]hey must go as far as West Point or Shelbyville almost every day. They said the road from Cave City to Mammoth Cave is as bad as it ever was.
Frank Walter is a supply Sergeant at Camp Taylor now. Wednesday morning Cecelia took Papa to town in the machine. [T]hey went to Mass, delivered some potatoes in the Highlands and then went to the barber shop. I met Dorothy at lunch Wednesday. [S]he said she had received your card. I called her Wednesday evening to tell her we had a letter yesterday at noon. I met her at lunch again, also Mrs. Mattingly and Tom Discher. I told them all about your cable. The news has traveled about town pretty well. I was waiting for official notice before putting it in the newspaper but do not think it will be necessary.
Mary F. talked to Laura last night. Elsie is sick out home and so is Anna Christine. Aunt Lou told Cecelia Wednesday morning that the Goss's have the influenza but I believe it has been kept quiet. Mr Goss and Antoinette I think have it. The Hinkles told Willie that Juluis Vetter is home from the Great Lakes on a furlough and while here he and the Bromley girl are to be married. Alfred Simon is also to be married soon.
Dominic Kollross was just in the store[.] [H]e is home from West Point on a 14 day furlough. [H]e looks all right in uniform although not a good looking suit just an issued one of course. [H]e seems to like the army fine now, is in the Headquarters Co. rides all around camp on a horse, in his own line of work which makes it pleasant.
I was so glad to hear your magazine finally reached you. [T]hey will keep on coming. I called Mrs. Kremer Thursday morning and told her about your cable. [S]he was so distressed to hear the news.
Emma Lee suggested to me to answer it, which I did today. If only I had sent it yesterday it would have cost .08 cts per word instead of .31 cts which I had to pay today. “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” [B]ut the consoling part is that they said you would get it in about twenty four hours instead of it taking several days as it formerly did. Let me know if you received it, and did it not make you feel good to get word from home if it was only four words.
Cecelia got a very interesting letter from Lieut. Mitchell from Montgomery Ala and I got such a nice letter from a soldier at Camp Sevier, found my name on a magazine at the K.C. Bldg[.] [H]e is from Lexington, asked me to write at once as he would like to call me up when he gets his furlough which he is expecting. He said the influenza is terrible there about fifty die every day. Gus called up last night to ask about you. [H]is son Paul is just getting over the flue. He has a regular day and night job at the Herald now. Everything is still closed and now the saloons and fountains have to close at 6:30 every evening[.] [I]t sure is a dead town.
It is nearly six so I will have to close hoping to hear good news from you real real soon.
With lots of love from
Clara

Dearest -
Just received you letter of the 23rd and I sure was glad to get it. I began to think you were sick and could not write it had been two long weeks since I saw or heard from you. you never said why you did not write sooner.
Well I had to report back to my Company this afternoon and I am now transferred to the Artillery Kitchens and as far as I know will stay where I am, altho there is some prospect of going to West Point. I am going to try and come home a few days when I find out what they intend to do with me, so you can watch the road.
I saw one man laid out this morning just back of our kitchen. a heavy[-]loaded truck started to pull the hill and could not make it, and while they were backing down (the brakes would not hold) they landed the back end in the big ditch and one man who was riding on the back was thrown under the boxes and was carried to the Hospital unconscious, but is getting along O.K. now.
I had a letter from home yesterday but they did not write much. said they had a letter from Alice and they had bought a farm.
Wonder who put that in the paper. some one making fun I guess ha! ha! but it was some send off was it not.
If I can get my check cashed tonight I will send some home so watch the mail and when you write always put return on the envelopes so that if I did not happen to get it, you would.
I broke my ring this morning while getting some ice out of the box and guess I will send it home[.] I don't want to destroy it altogether, and we have such heavy work it is to[o] much for a light ring.
I only hope and pray that they don't send me any farther away than I am for now I have a chance to come home but if I get farther away I may not.
I have written every other day since I was home and I can't understand why you don't get my letters, and then I only had one for all those[.] I will make you talk you head off when I see you. ha! ha!
Hoping to hear real soon
I am yours forever

Letter addressed to Corp. Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
Fri. P.M.
April 26 / 18
Dear Louis:
Uncle Frank received your letter this morning and they got one out home. I was so sorry to hear about all that quarantine business because I was trying to induce Aunt Maggie to take me to Greenville next week. I though we could have left here in the middle of the week and stay over Saturday and Sunday with you. You see Aunt Maggie has promised me a trip this summer. [B]ut I am afraid that if Ed goes to camp, there will be no vacation for me unless I would go early and of course I would love to see my little brother before he sails so maybe she might take me to New York.
Do you know Rudolph Harpring really does have to go to camp Monday. Laura told Mary F. that Angela will not break up for a few months because so many married men have been discharged after being out at camp two or three months. Clara Graf told us at the Euchre the other night that Harold has to bring his own blanket, underclothes, socks, etc.
I was just talking to Tode and she says Marie Bannon and Lieut Curran are to be married at the Base Hospital. She was also telling me that Fount's sister and the baby are not so well and they have not heard lately from Dr Beale which of course is distressing her greatly. You had better not tell Fount (the above news). [I]f he does not leave with you Louis, let him telegraph C.O.D. to us when you leave Camp Sevier so we do not send any mail there.
Louis Heintzman was telling me that Joe has never received any of their mail so when you get to France, let us know the correct way to reach you.
Enclosed find your Liberty Loan Dollar. How did the cake reach you ? Did it taste good? As I want to catch the 5:50 I must say goodbye
Clara

Dearest -
Will write you a few lines altho I hardily [sic] know what[.] I wrote one Saturday but I expect you will get the two together, as I did not get to mail it until yesterday.
Well I don't know whether I will get home this week or not, but I hope so. the candidates will be examined today and will leave Thurs or Friday so it is likely we will too, but don't look to[o] strong for me as I don't want to disappoint you. I am alright with the exception of a cold but think it will be alright soon, so don't worry.
It seems as if the discharging is awfully slow - but Col. Carter got word from Washington to get we men out of here this week so they are working day and night.
It is cold down here of nights and I hope I will be home before it gets any colder.
I will have a lot to tell you when I see you, some thing to make you laugh as well as something else.
Well this finishes my tablet so what I have to say I will have to cut short.
The men who are going home can hardily [sic] hold them selves and I presume that they won't stay much longer without a disturbance.
I want to go this week so bad that I can hardily stand it and no one can blame me when they know why.
If the war was still on I would not say much but now it is over and I want to come home.
Bye Bye till we meet,
With love

Dear Brother:
We surely enjoyed your nice long letter received yesterday. [G]lad to hear you will get to Asheville N.C. I do not think that was such an imperfect day last Sunday, but see how nice it would have been if the elderly man would have taken you all home to spend the evening and take supper with him.
Aunt Lou's seemed to be very much pleased with you letter. I believe you are going to get a cake. I am returning the pink letter so you can answer it. We will send you some money because I heard today that Joe Heintzman has not been paid since January. So keep some for over there.
Well we are going to have Chaplains Mahoney and Grasshoff, Secretary Kelly and some other soldier for supper tomorrow night. Fraas has been transferred to some other camp, leaving today. Watson tells me Will Bohan is slightly disappointed. [H]e enlisted to get into the motor division and he was put in the gun division although he has been made Seargant [sic]. [T]hey are staying at a hotel and go out every morning to ammunition plants, garages or whatever branch they have been put in. Hours from six to eight. Five hundred applicants for the motor division and they only wanted ninety men.
We met Walter Diemer last night on the car but just had time to ask how he felt. [H]e said he is allright again and to tell you Hello for him. Mary Emma said Joe Heheman is still in the Depot Brigade. Father Rothheut enquired for you last night. [F]irst time since you have gone, but very likely he did not know you had left Camp T. [H]e sent me a soldier census card to fill out for you on Thursday. I asked him last night if it was for a service flag but he said he has to send them on to Washington. [T]hey get the Catholic percentage in that way. I thought you might send him a card some time. Cecelia says not, but do as you please about it.
As it is nearly six I will have to close. You might see me in Greenville yet.
With love from
Clara

Dearest Nellie -
Received your letter this evening just at supper time so will answer right off. I went on duty at noon and will be on duty until noon tomorrow then I will write another letter. am going to write every day now until I find out where I go after Sat., as we leave here then and I don't know where we will go, but oh how I wish I could come home for a few days for I have lots to tell you when I get to see you.
Your package came O.K. and I thank you very much for the Testament. you don't know how much those books are needed down here. you are doing more for me than you have any idea you are. thots of you would keep any man from going wrong and as God is my helper I will come back to you a better boy than when I left. watch and be patient and the time will come when I will once more be at you door to receive my welcome.
No I can't say that any one of the boys is my special friend, but all seem to share the joy of one another and make this life just as enjoyable as possible. no I can't say that I like it down here, but it is not so bad as I expected. when I am on duty I don't have time to get lonesome but when I am not busy and get to studying about you then is when my heart yearns for home.
No I have not been over to see Mrs Klotter yet as I will have to have a pass when I do and I have not been able to get one yet. but after Sat., I am going to try and see her. I thot at first maybe it was some one who wanted to play with me to see if I was fool enough to come but if you say she is O.K. why I will go. I am keeping the letter and will bring it home so that you can see what she wrote. it is a kind invitation, and as she signed her name Minnie Klotter I thot it was a miss so you know why I was shy.
If you want those two pictures keep them for your self as H & A don't care enough about me to want one of them. Alice thot they were good and like to have blowed up when they left Sunday, but Pa did not act like he did when I left the first time, but he worries for fear I will have to go across. but I don't think I will but you can never tell.
Well Mrs Hillig doesn't appreciate a good turn when she gets it as that was once when they did not have to hand out any money. besides your dad fixed their buggy for them, but the more you do for them the more you can do.
It seems hard to be down here but think what it would mean for me to be at home and all the rest gone. it would hurt just as bad then as every one would look on one as a slacker.
The paper today said that the French, British and Yanks were still advancing and that some prisoners they had taken said that Germany would soon have to fall. I don't care how soon I want a stop put to this waste of human lives and property.
It is a great deal cooler here now as it rained all night and all day today and looks favorably for tomorrow.
I don't know whether Pa got home O.K. or not but I expect a letter any time now telling me how they made the trip, but they acted like they were awful tired. they said the road was awful rough altho it only took about four hours to come.
The letter you sent in the paper are good. I am glad that Martin got to be a Seargant [sic] but suppose he will be so big when he comes back that he won't notice we folks.
No I don't have to drill and have not drilled any since I came to this kitchen but I have not forgot all what I learned the first two weeks and will show you what it was when I get home. all I do is what there is to be done in the kitchen. but I would have started to school I would have drilled.
Now when you write don't write if you think I won't get your letter Friday evening or Sat. noon as the Candidates will leave Sat. noon and we will stay and help clean up and I don't want any mail left in the office.
Will quit and go bathe but will write again tomorrow evening.
Yours as ever
with love
Frank

Letter addressed to Corporal Louis J. Discher, Co. F, 120 Infantry, 30 Division, American Expeditionary Forces. Letter was redirected to several other army units before being stamped “Return to Writer.”
Letter No. 59
Mon P.M. Jan 27 1919
Dear Louis:
I just had a telephone call from Dorothy telling me she had received your letter of Jan 3rd. [S]he was so glad to get it. I suppose ours will come tomorrow. Yes everybody else thinks it was so unjust to keep you all “over there” and return those so quickly that had just arrived. The remains of the 84th is now coming in[.] [M]ost of their men have been used as replacements and 300 died of the influenza. My friend Mrs. Batt sent me a clipping this morning with news that the 30th Division would disembark at Charleston, SC and be demobolized [sic] at Camp Jackson or Sevier. Indications are that you will arrive at Charleston between February 1st and 15th. I hope you get away from South Carolina in a hurry because all the boys sure do hate that place.
Thursday night at camp we met Mr Fried from Camp Jackson, brother of the little visitor of Weber's from St. Louis. He was a lovely boy, left for his home on Friday. There was a very nice crowd in the aud. Not as jammed as before they gave out the passes to the chaperones. We went out in the Ford well packed, eight with the driver. Cecelia can not take the machine because that miserable bridge on the Poplar Level road finally broke down, and you have to go down on the side of the road to get around it, very dangerous Willie thinks.
Friday night Cecelia and I went to choir practise [sic], heard that Blase Heintzman has gone to Alabama to work. I bet both he and Louis are very sorry they ever quit Geher and Son[.] [T]hey have hardly worked since.
(Tue. P.M. Jan 28/19) We were all sadly disappointed today. [T]he letter did not come as we expected. Aunt Addie is over today to cook soap. I do not know if I told you that Papa has finally gotten help, the cutest little colored boy almost too small but very willing. They were amused at him the other day. [H]is brother came to see him and they went to the room and had a game of cards without saying a word. Mr. Lee Zimlich had helped Papa get his potatoes to town. [W]orked for about a week but has now gone in the milk business.
Wed. Jan 29/19
The girls had an awfully hard time getting the tickets for Saturday night. [T]he Daughters of Isabella had charge of it and of course the Daughters all wanted them. None of us are members. Uncle Frank finally got two cards from a Mrs. Arbegust which entitled them to admission. It was a sandwich dance. [E]very girl had to bring a box with two sandwiches and anything else she wanted to put in it, tied with red and yellow ribbon. [T]hey stacked all these boxes on a table and had a grand march. [A]s the boys passed they took a box, the girls had their names on them and they then looked for the girl[,] ate with her and danced the next set together. Later in the evening they had a night cap dance[.] [E]ach boy was given a lit candle, all lights were turned out and the girls went out of the hall. [T]hen they came in with the paper night cap[s] and tied them on the boys who were sitting on the floor with their candle[s]. [Q]uite novel was it not? There was a mob there as usual. Willie went in to get them and the Traubs, and he said the women were standing on the radiators in the back of the hall to see over the crowd. John and Mary Shelley were there too, Amos and Dina, Alexina, Margaret Brown and others.
Sunday we had another beautiful day. Papa, Cecelia and Mary F. went to vespers[.] [A]fterwards they took Joe Karcher along and went for a ride out as far as Jacob Park, then out the Bardstown Road. I had to go to town on the five o'clock car to First & Walnut. Aunt Maggie had Father Simms and another of the priests down to supper and wanted me to help. [S]he had a very nice supper. It was Uncle Frank's 60th birthday, but do not tell anybody, he is afraid the girls will not look at him if they hear he is that old.
Monday night Cecelia and I went to the Presentation Academy to a musical entertainment of the St Helena Club. [W]e sat with Pauline and Mary Senn and and Marie Taylor. The Senns are not wearing mourning for their Mother. Willie and Uncle Frank went out on Sixth St. to pray the rosary for Tommy Clines mother who died on Sunday. They came by and got us afterwards.
Cap't Geher stopped in to see us yesterday. [H]e expects to be here a couple of months. Last night we entertained our Aunt Adeline. Joe Kurzendorfer had an accident this morning. [H]e put up a gas range on Williams St. lit the oven to try it, must have had the valve turned on because it blew out and burned his face badly. He has more trouble of all kinds, always something happening. [H]as as much trouble with his Ford machine as he had with the Commerce. I saw Tom Discher at noon. [H]e inquired for you as usual. I also met Mrs. Geher. [S]he is going to leave on the 5th for another visit to St. Paul, Minn. [T]hose army people do travel around enough.
I do not know how you will like the pictures. You know our scenery and backgrounds are not very good in the winter. Cecelia has gone to her club at Pikes this afternoon in the Highlands. Elsie Harpring has not been at all well the last few weeks. [W]e had given the girls two tickets for last Saturday afternoon but they could not go. Mr. & Mrs. Rudolph Harpring have a baby. She is at Sts. M & E Hospital. Rud is at some little country town.
Nearly six, so I will have to close hoping that we soon get a letter.
I remain Yours lovingly
Clara

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie F. Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Rural Route #2, Box 52 Postmarked Thursday, August 29, 1918. <br />16 Battery Officers Training School, Camp Taylor, Kentucky Aug 28, 1918 <br />Dearest Nellie - Again I will write a few lines as I am waiting for my leggings to dry so I can put them on. think I will try to go over and see Mrs. Klotter this evening if nothing happens, as I would like to see her before I leave here, and if I do I am going to write and tell you what kind of a time I had. Last night I dreamed I was at home with my folks, also that you were present. but this morning it was only a dream. It has quit raining and the sun is shining out bright and pretty. it is also cooler. Well I certainly have been sleeping the last few nights[.] can't hardily [sic] get awake at all, but when I one get washed I feel fine. The boys are preparing to leave just as fast as possible as they have to get every thing in tip top shape before they leave, and must turn in all their old clothes first then they will buy new uniforms for themselves. they all get a few days furlough, but some live so far away that I don't think they can get home. Pa must have rented the Rosengards place after they went home from here as he said he did not know what they would do. I have been trying to get him to quit, but I guess I had just as well quit because he wont as long as he lives and then I have nothing to say anyway. Suppose Ann will get the most of the fruit as she always does, then complains that they can't get any thing to live on. it is something all the time. We have the name of having the cleanest kitchen and barricks [sic] of any in Camp and we want to leave here with kind of a name. you aught [sic] to see me scrub and mop the floor. oh! well I will show you when I come home just how I do it so you need not worry ha! ha! When the bugle blows in the morning at 5 oclock all the candidates have to get up, are given fifteen minutes to dress then the Seargant [sic] blows a little whistle and they fall out or come to attention in a line where the roll is called. they they go thru an exercise for 30 minutes then they fall out for mess, then after mess or breakfast they are given what ever is assigned to them, and so on until retreat at night or 6 oclock when they get supper. After supper they have a study period until nine oclock. as you see the life of a soldier is not all play. It would be a grand sight if you could see them when they are drilling or when they march with the military band. it makes one feel like he had cold chills running up and down his spine. Seven years ago this month I started keeping company with you and I can say that while I have seen some sad moments I have spent the most happy years of my life by your side and in you presence. you have been an inspiration to me and it has made me a better man in every way, for which I thank you in my weak way. I have tried to return the best I have to you but don't know how I have succe[e]ded. You will have to excuse this change in pen and pencil as my pen is empty and I was not quite thru so will finish with this pencil. Those cigars you sent were the best I have smoked in a long time[.] they were so mild, were not a bit strong, and I smoked the last one just a while ago. also I eat my chockalate [sic] bar it was just fine and tasted just like more. I am going to get me two buttons to wear on my coat collar when I find out just where I belong. some of the boys are wearing one with U.S.[?] on one and 159 Depot Brigade on the other, but I won't get mine until I find out for sure. <br />Well good bye until tomorrow, <br />As ever with love, <br />Frank

Dearest -
This is a Sunday so different from what the other Sundays have been, but it is O.K. as we have a meeting at the Barricks every Sunday morning at 8.30.
Well Nellie when you can send me a bar of washing soap as I had to get a bar yesterday it was ivory and cost 10c so you see every thing is not cheap down here.
James Wilsons wife asked if James had seen me. I guess he has as I sleep right by his side.
When I get to come home on a furlough I will have lots to tell you that I can not write. It seems that some one has to steal as some[one] just now stole a comfort kit. but so far I have not lost anything.
Well I will have to close as it will soon be assembly and I want to close before they call as we have to get when they call.
Write to me whenever you have time as I will have to move some of these days to a different place and that means about a week without mail.
With love
Yours only
Priv. Frank R. Lane

[Thursday] Nov. 28, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
Received your welcome letter at noon today, while eating my Thanksgiving dinner. it was some dinner. consisted of the following. Turkey, cranberry Sauce, dressing, cream peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, celery, apples and gravey [sic]. it was the best dinner we have had since I have been in camp, but it was not [as] it would have been at home, where I expect to be before long.
The candidates who get their discharges will leave Saturday and the ones who remain will be transferred to Battery 32 just across the road. then we will either be sent back to our former company or be discharged from here. but if we go back to the Depot Brigade we will be discharged from there.
Oh! I can hardily [sic] wait till I get home and to you. rabbit hunting and all like we did once before. ha! ha!
Well we just got out of quarentine [sic] at noon today and can go down to Coke Station once more and see the leg show ha! ha! as that is all it is. but wait until I get home I will make you laugh, or I will die trying.
I am sorry to hear that the Flu is raging again but guess it is the luck of the neighborhood to have something wrong most of the time. You never said whether you got my letter with my picture in it or not. but no matter I have some left.
Well if you want to write you must write at once or I may be out of here before it reaches me.
You must excuse this paper as it is the best I could do, and I had to borrow it.
hoping to be with you soon I am as ever your loved one

Letter addressed to Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
April 3, 1918
Dear Louis -
Was surely glad to receive your nice long letter today.
I was in at the Flag Raising Sunday with the Kastners. It certainly was a lovely day for it, and they had a fine crowd there. Met so many people that we know and they all inquired for you. Afterwards we walked through fourth St. Monday night Billy and I went to the K of C dance. Had a very nice time. Marie Doherty asked about you. I knew a good many that were there. Margaret Brown, Lucille Kern, Florence Pike, Lucille O'Conner, Lieut. Richmond[?], and some more that you dont know. There were about a dozen officers there, and they had about six tuckers [sic].
Mr Fraas took charge of every thing. When we went out to get in the machine it was raining, a summer thunder shower, and we had another one last night. Tuesday afternoon my club met at Mary Senn's. She had the lunch table fixed so cute for Edith Herbold, with the bride and groom and ring bearer cupids in the center, and favors at each place. Olga Klein had her visitor with her. Lois Stice's younger sister Eunice. She spent two weeks with Lois, and is staying a few days with Olga. Edith Herbold gets married Thursday night in the priest parlor, because Mr. Wade the man she is marrying is a non catholic. Elizabeth Campbell wants to know what you though of Lieut. Wing. It seems like she has been going out with him quite a bit. Capt. Adams & Lieut Smith are going to be in the Bannon and Curran wedding party. I dont know who the others will be. Henrietta is going to be the maid of honor, Elizabeth and two of Marie's friends will be the bridesmaids. The wedding will be at high noon, twelve thirty, April 20.
Wish you all were in Louisville so you could help eat some of the easter eggs that we have. You know we dyed one hundred and eight. Fixed a good many baskets for the neighbor children, and put a good many in each one, but there are so many for us to eat that we are sick of them.
You wrote that every thing is blooming down there. I wish you could see our yard every thing is the same as in the south, so pretty and green and all in bloom. The grass has been cut, and we expect to plant our flowers in a few days. Senn's have a new picture of Robert Traim taken with an officers cap on. It certainly is splendid of him. How do you like living in a tent, how large is Camp Sevier, and how do you like the officers? It is nearly twelve o'clock so I will close.
With love from all
Mary Frances
Write soon.
When you have time write a letter to First & Walnut

Camp Zachary Taylor
32rd Training Battery
F.A.C. O.T.S.
[Tuesday] Dec. 3, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
Well I will try and write you a few lines now as I have some time. I got back from Burnside last night and reported to Lieut. Longnecker then had to move all my stuff over to the 32nd Battery as the 33 is all busted up and we are waiting now for our papers.
Louis Maxie was one of our K.P.s and when he died I was asked to take his body home, and I could not refuse as he was a friend of mine. I started on Sunday morning at 7-10 and arrived in Danville [Kentucky] at 11-30 changed cars and landed in Burnside 2-30. his father and two sons met me and they had no undertaker or hearse so I called for the marshell [sic] and turned the body over to him. then we went over to the house and had the papers signed showing that they had received the body. then as I had a headache went to the hotel (Seven Gabels) [sic] and went to bed about 5 oclock.
That was the saddest family I ever saw and it was almost to[o] much for me and I hope I don't have to take another body home.
Well we go on shift at noon and perhaps we will be changed any time and I hope that I will get home soon.
I got your letter that you wrote Nov. 26 and say I was tickled half to death as I was not expecting it. but I will write when ever I get a chance so do not worry because I will be home some time before long.
This is brown paper but not the kind Charley Baker uses so you do not have to be afraid ha! ha!
Well I am going to write Pa a letter so I will bring this to an end.
Bye Bye dear heart for a little while
