Nov. 1, 1918
My dear Louis,
When I got home from the office yesterday I found your dear sweet letter waiting for me. I was so glad to know that my letters reached you at such an opportune time. I hope that this one will do likewise. Last night I called up Clara & told her I had heard from you. I read the whole letter to her except that part where you asked me not to tell any one. I skipped over that part & read it as if I had nothing left out.
Louis I am terribly anxious to hear from you telling me about you being wounded. Clara showed me the Cablegram & my heart almost stopped beating. I was so shocked I could hardly speak. I was however glad to know that it was a slight wound. I know that you get the best attention and will be alright in a short while. Write me Louis, please & tell me all you can.
I bet that was some fight on the Western Front and I know that “Our Boys” especially (one) & that is you Louis, deserve all the praise & even more than they get. I hope that Germany will accept Wilson's peace terms & that you will soon be homeward bound. That sounds good doesn't it Louis? I hope & pray that it will soon come true & I know you do.
Mother & Mary are just fine & they certainly appreciated your thoughtfulness in remembering them. It sure is sweet of you Louis.
John is still at Camp Taylor & has put in an application for the Officer's Training Camp. I do hope he gets in & gets a commission.
Well Louis I will never stop praying for you & please write & tell me all about yourself.
Yours with love,
Dorothy

Dearest Nellie -
I just found out that the Y. was not allowed to receive any more mail so I suppose that my mail is either at the post office for this area or has been returned to you. so when you write now please send it to the above address and may be I will get a few letters.
I was taken off the sick list and put on duty again this morning but I don't intend to work much as there is others to work.
I was at Coke Station this morning for a short time just out for exercise. those who were down town last night say that every one was out p[a]rading because of the War News. it sounds as if something was coming[.] hope all new that are good news are true, as I want to come home to stay.
The Kaiser has left his throne and the Crown Prince refuses to take his place so it sounds as if we were getting the best of them al[l]round.
I hope that it won't be many more letter[s] that I will have to write from here, and then I won't leave you any more unless you say so. see. for when I come back I am coming for you. I am going to send you something about wed. [Wednesday?] if noting prevents so watch the mail box and maybe I will have some of your letters by that time.
The Mayor told one of the K of Ps that all of us special duty men would be discharged by the last of this month. gee wouldn't I be glad.
Bye Bye sweetheart until I write again,
With love

Dear Louis:
A whole week since I have written you. I started to write Sunday but did not get very far so I tore it up. Well our suspense is ended. Your No. 15 letter written on Sept. 10th arrived today and you can imagine how glad we were to get it. I was glad to hear that you were moved because I imagine you will like France better than Belgium. I was relieved also to hear that letter No. 26 reached you as I felt just a bit dubious about it. [W]ill try it again.
Last Friday night we had First Friday devotions. Father Rothheut always prays for the soldier boys. [A]fter services we had our rehearsal for Sunday. Saturday we were busy here as usual. Albert Dietche home sick so that of course makes it worse.
Sunday was a most delightful day. Papa, Cecelia and I went down to church at six o'clock to go to Communion as it was the first Sunday in October and rosary Sunday. You gained an indulgence every time you visited the church.
Fri. P.M. Oct 11
On Saturday evening Papa and the girls went down to confession and Otillia and Mary F. went to a Red Cross Sale given by the people of Bon Air at Millers store in Zimlich lane. I saw in the paper they made $182.00. Sunday was a very busy day for us. Willie, Otillia and Mary F. went to the first Mass[;] Papa, Cecelia and I to High Mass which was solemn on account of celebrating St. Francis day. After dinner it was so nice and warm so I had my hair washed.
The blessing of the Service Flag took place at three o'clock in front of the school. [T]he band played and the choir sang America, blessing of the flag, sermon by one of the chaplains, band and choir “Keep the Home Fires Burning” then procession out of Carter Ave down Bardstown Rd to Al Fresco and in to the church, of School children servers, Young ladies and men Sodality Holy Name Society and Married ladies. The flag was carried by six girls of the 8th Grade dressed in white. [A]ll of the children carried little flags and there were several large Amer. flags carried by the young men. [I]t looked very nice[.] [T]he children sang Star Spangled Banner while marching while the people were being seated [.] Miss Simpson played a very lively Military March then we had solemn vespers and benediction, ending with “Holy God we praise they name.” The church was packed.
Uncle Frank and Aunt Maggie were out and then spent the evening at Aunt Lou's[.] [T]hey also had Uncle Willie, Aunt Teresa, Elizabeth, Papa and Cecelia for supper. Willie slept part of the afternoon and wrote a letter. After supper Martin Holzknecht came out on the seven o'clock car. [H]e took Mary F. to the Mary Anderson vaudeville. Otillia and I entertained him in the kitchen while we washed our dishes and Mary F. dressed. They came out on the 11:20 car and Willie got on at the limits and made him get off.
Papa has had a very bad cold[.] [W]e were afraid he was getting the flu but he got over it allright. Monday morning the following announcement was made in the papers “All churches, schools, theatres, picture shows, pool rooms, gymnasiums and swimming pools must close. [A]ll public meetings, dances and parties cancelled. [F]unerals and weddings must be private and car windows must remain open and houses shall be tagged where there is a case of influenza.[”] Grace and Irene Huber have it and four of the Dreisbacks.
Cecelia's friend Mitchell telephoned Monday morning to her and hinted about coming out but they were washing so she did not ask him out for dinner. Papa got very much excited and said if she had a soldier to come out we would all get the flu. The fun of it was he has more symptoms of it than any one else. I told her to ask him out if he called again which he did. He brought a box of candy[.] [T]hey went for a ride and ate supper with us. [H]e was telling at the table that on Friday he thought sure he had it. In the evening Willie could not go to the gym, and church was called off so they took Mitchell out to camp.
Tuesday and Wednesday Willie came in to the store. [H]e also worked Wednesday night. Wednesday at four Lieut. Mitchell came out. [H]e and Cecelia went for a ride out Third St, parked the machine here at 5:30 walked through Fourth St. bought a box of candy and at six came for me to go out home with them. Otillia and Mary F. had a very nice supper[.] [T]he table looked very pretty with a basket of white cosmos in the center. He left on the eight o'clock car for the depot. [H]is train for his home in Wisconsin left at 9:10[.] [H]e will go from there to Camp Sheridan, Ala. some move isn't it? Cecelia gave him two khaki silk handkerchiefs for graduation present. If only he had remained here we might have met some officers.
John Goss is home on a furlough but I have not seen him to talk to. I saw him riding through 4[th] St this dinner in their machine with another sailor. Yesterday at noon I met Dorothy going to the Britling. [S]he said she had received two very interesting letters from you last week. The Liberty Loan here in Louisville again went over the top. Yesterday Geo. Hartmans father and mother were in the store. Uncle Frank sold them a Quick Meal range. I spoke to them about their son. [T]hey said their last letter was dated Aug 1st and that Geo. complains of the rats. I said you had never mentioned them[.] [H]ow about it, also the cooties, are you troubled with them?
The Diemer family called up Wednesday evening to see if we had a letter. [T]heir mother was sure Carl must be dead. I told her if he was they would have been notified, that bad news travels fast. I often wonder if I am too optimistic.
The city limits has been extended to Kaelin addition, so I suppose we are safe for awhile. I am mailing you the November edition of Cosmopolitan magazine. I hope by this time you are getting some of them. I think one of the boys here, Dan Dowdel, will buy your brown suit and hat[.] [H]e took the suit home last night to try on.
The influenza here is surely a calamity. You all are really safer in the trenches it takes you so quickly. Johnny Carman who worked at Strassel Gans died of it this week and Denhards book[k]eeper. The churches will remain closed Sunday. [N]o masses [-] heres where I sleep. I stayed in town last night[.] Albert and I were studying the map trying to figure out where you all are. Was Fount K. moved with you all, how does he like the army by this time?
I am supposed to get up a big order to mail to Vollrath's so I will have to close hoping to get another letter real real soon.
Yours lovingly
Clara
Do not forget your prayers. All will be well then.

Dearest Nellie -
This finds me in the squad room trying to rest but it is so hot that I can hardily [sic] sit still so guess I will try to write you a few lines, as it [is] about all I can do to pass away the time, and I can spend it in no better way.
My vac[c]ination is getting along all right and if nothing happens it will be O.K. in a few days.
Well I had a no 1 disappointment this morning. I wanted to come home on a 5 day furlough but could not because so many men were out. so the captain said but I don't see why I could not have been one of them.
Well I just came back from the school. went over after those apples you sent. they were fine but won't last long as they were to[o] good. well I saw the other Frank Lane[.] he said he did not get any packages of mine but he did get the letter which you mailed at Aurora but it wasn't opened[.] said he would see that I got every bit of mail intended for me because he know[s] where to find me now.
One of the cooks father was here this morning from Illinois, and he brought a box of cake & chicken he divided up and it certainly was grand as Nora says.
The candidates have just come in and they are just about all in it is so hot. I don't see hardily [sic] how they stand it.
If you can send my little harp also some cigars some time do so it will be [a] past [sic] time any way and we need something to keep our minds busy on something.
Writing every day as I have been doing the past week, my letters won't be so long but perhaps you will enjoy them just the same. I hope so at least.
The boys certainly enjoy themselves to have to live such a life as they do and I don't see how they do it, altho many or the most of them go to Town of Louisville every Saturday evening. but that kind of times don't suit me here at least for there is only one place for me to enjoy myself and that is at your side.
Are Henry and Anna going to attend the State Fair? I see in the paper where they are going to have some war trophies from Germany on exhibition, and they will be worth seeing.
Well I guess I will quit and write again tomorrow night.
Good bye sweetheart until I write again. Yours with love,
Frank Raymond Lane

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.”
At Home
Nov. 11/18
My dear, dear Louis,
We received your cable & two letters from Bath. Oh! who can describe the sorrow at receiving the cable and the joy when the letters came and ended that heavy suspense. Of course you know Aunt Maggie, always imagining the worst. I am going to write for now a long letter, so get yourself in a comfortable position. I have not written for quite awhile. In the first place I have been sick in bed. Ottillia [sic] was with me for two weeks. Dr Koehler said I was next door to having the Flu - nothing like being in style, although the girls say I am old fashion. It left me in a very weak condition nevertheless.
The first evening I was sitting up about 8:30 o'clock 23 October, the telephone rang. Ottillia answered, and it was the great western telegraph telephoning your cable, that you were wounded - it was all off for me, sleeping & waking I imagined the worst that had befallen you. Every devout little old lady I came across I asked them for a little prayer for you.
Of course even if you would have been at home you may have been stricken with the Flu. Out at your old s[t]amping ground about nine thousand have died with it. At one time old Louisville was a sad & desolate place, showing us plainly that the hand of an angry & just God had stricken us. Churches, schools, picture shows - every thing closed by order of the government. Over one hundred school sisters went out to the camp to help wait on the sick soldiers. All of the barr[a]cks were turned into hospitals[.] [T]he well boys were put in tents. I saw the camp the other Sunday. Tents on both sides of Preston Street as far as you can see.
The ban was lifted on Sunday the 10 of Nov. - we could go to church again after 4 Sundays being closed. You cannot describe the funny feeling of not having to go to church - just stay at home. The funny thing was, the people that were not in the habit of going, they fussed & fumed about depriving them of church.
We are having the most beautiful fall weather imaginable. It has not been very cold as yet.
Oh another thing on account of the flu we had no service at the cemetery on All Souls day.
Oh Louis when your letters came telling us about how & where you was wounded. How thankful we were to our dear Lord and His blessed mother for preserving you from a death on the battle field. Now you in return my dear boy, the very first orportunity [sic] you have, try & hear mass, & offer it as a thanksgiving. Also try & go to confession & communion and offer your holy communion as a thanksgiving for your protection in that battle; even [if] it is a little troublesome for you to go, show your gratitude by going both to mass & communion.
If such a thing were possible for you perhaps for a furlough, I want you to make a trip to Lourdes to thank our good mother for protecting you. [B]e sure if you go to send a case of Lourdes water to me.
It does not cost much there. It is the freight Express home that cost, and that of course is paid here. I will pay your expense there & what you pay out for the water[.] I think I paid 2.50 or 3/00 for a dozen bottles. I gave my last one to your Rev Padre[?] he asked for it last week. I thought your being over there it would be a good chance to get some. I remember passing through Amiens on our way there also Bordeaux the last place was Pau. Then go to Paris & London if you can. [A]t Paris go to the church of Mont Matre [sic] it is way up on a hill. [W]hen in the beautiful church burn 2 of the largest candles you can get in honor of [the] sacred heart - one for your family & one for uncle Frank & myself. You have a splendid view of the city. do not go up the steps take the incline.
I suppose you are thinking has my auntie lost her mind. No my boy if you were [here] last Thursday & would have seen the spontaneous demonstration at a false report of peace[.] You know peace the long looked for is at hand. This morning [M]onday the 11 at three o'clock in the morning the whistles & extra out at that hour stating that the armistice was signed. Business is practically suspended; even your uncle Frank has closed the store. The tumult, noise, uproar is awful, the streets are jammed, white & Black, little & big every thing on the go. Showing that the peoples heart was not in this war, and that they want peace.
Last Thursday when the first rumors came the bells began to ring at one [o']clock whistles blowing, I knelt down to thank our Lord for his benign mercy towards us. Say a little prayer also thanking Him for his mercy.
Now comes a little news[.] [W]hile reading the paper the other evening, looking over the list of promotions I came across Captain Victor Robert Geher. You can imagine how stunned I was. Mary Frances got busy & begged uncle Frank to write which he did. Well he came to the store[.] Clara met him, and then arranged to have him & his wife out to the house for supper. I had them the following Sunday for dinner. He is an Austrian and is only nine years in this country, speaks with a brogue. They live in San Francisco Cal. She is a very nice stylish looking lady. He is captain in the Artillery, trains the horses & men how to ride and I do not know what all. So we have advanced in line up to captain - how about it.
Louis we have never been notified by the government, nor have I seen your name in the cassualties [sic] lists. I did see two of our cousins names missing in action. [Name indecipherable] of Evansville Ind. Jame C Edwards Dallas Texas.
I did see a Mr Middle???? name he lives on the Bardstown road & Dou?? Point, so I said you will be along soon.
Clara told Mr Heintzman was seriously wounded. [Sic.]
Say boy how about your order or tag for Christmas. I am sending you a money order in this letter for christmas gifts as that box we can send if we get an order for it is so small 9x4x3 - what can you put in that.
I have your helmet & two new pair of socks ready If you have to stay all winter, get an order & send for them as the winters are very cold over there.
Cousin Albert sends you about two magazines a week. Maybe you better write him a few lines of thanks, if you feel like it.
When our dear Louis comes home Oh what a homecoming we will have. First a high mass of thanksgiving at your parish church. I am going to give you a blow out [and] you can have it where ever you want it. Mrs Hull our neighbor said let me be door keeper, Mrs Harpring said she only hoped she would live to be invited. [W]hat do you think of the nerve. She told me some time ago that Helen & Laura were going to give a dance. I only hope & pray your leg will not be stiff, but still better that then none at all.
Now do not lose your heart to one of those red x cross nurses [-] come home heart whole & fancy free. You can be nice to them [-] show that you are a gentleman born & bred in Old Ky. Thank your nurse for me, for taking care of you & all I can do is to ask God to shower his choicest gifts on her.
If you are thrown with any German prisoners treat them nice and pity them for they have lost out[.] [R]emember all you get comes from a German grandmother & a very German auntie. It is now four o'clock and the children are on the streets with red lights - pretty early for illumi[na]tions
I will have to go to get the eats as you call it for my two widowers. I will tell you what I am going to have. [I]magine you are at your accustomed place and [word indecipherable] to eat. Ham cold boiled Fried Potatoes Coffee cake Bread & butter [word indecipherable] perserves [sic] your favorite & coffee.
Prices are soaring higher & higher[.] Eggs are 65 cts a dozen butter 65c. We can get sugar now 3 lbs a person per month [an] increase of 1 lbs.
Now Louis get well & try not to go out into the thick of it again. If you get a furlough see a little of Europe before coming home. I can hardly await the time[.] [O]f course I rekon you will have to stay about 6 months at least. Try to go to mass confession & communion & say your prayers. [I]t matters not how little if you say them regular & be thankful for your protection you had. Every night I prayed to your little angel sister Lulie to say you, and I believe our prayers have been heard.
I am finishing my letter tonight. Cousin Albert telephoned for Ottilia & Mary Frances to come in & he has just left to get them at the corner. He has his pockets full of confetti. [They] arrived with flags. [T]hey are going over to get uncle Frank & are going to get in the mob on fourth ave to celebrate. Saloons were ordered closed at 2 o'clock by the Provost Marshall at Camp Taylor. Just read in the evening paper Emperor Wilhelm has fled to Holland - the Empress dying Prince Eitel tried to kill himself. I think the end of the world near. W. W. will get his dose sooner or later as he is as much to blame at the Kaiser.
It seems to me Louis that this uproar you could hear over there. As the paper states it is as if the fury of hell has broken loose. I stayed in to finish your long delayed letter. I do not know if you are very much interested in Auntie's rambling. I will say my nightly rosary for you, that you will come back once more to us all.
Have you seen or heard anything of your friend Fontaine Kremer[?] If you do, tell him howdy for me. It is light less night to night so all the machines have big red lights & the boys are carrying torches. I do not know if we will get any sleep to night.
I will have to close now. God bless you. With much love & a kiss from your loving
Aunt Maggie & Uncle Frank
Tuesday Morning 12
Good Morning. As I did not close this last night I'll add a little more. What do you think of [name indecipherable] getting married again - married a man with the same name Jones. Did you get her letter? If you did & have not answered send her a few lines of congratulations. Just say May You be happy & I wish you much Joy or something.[.] [I]t would simply set her wild to get a letter from over there.
Louis your letter out home was a joke [-] every other line was cut out. [B]ut we read through & between lines very well & we watch the papers, what your field marshall Haig is doing & follow you right along.We think you were wounded between Solemnes[?] & Le Chalet are we right?
The last draft is called off. I am mighty glad of it, that Willie is spared. We are going to have another beautiful day after the racket of last night. [I]it is as quiet this morning. Thursday the mayor has ordered peace celebration when all the bells of the city will ring out the news.
Now I myself feel very sorry for the royal family & prayed last night to the sorrowful mother to comfort them a little in their hour of trial.
Now once more Louis you are near the goal of coming home. Say your prayers - try & hear mass go to confession & communion & get yourself a little bit civilized before you reach the shores of America[.] [Y]ou will feel like Columbus did when you see the statue of the goddess of Liberty & can say home again. [I]t fills my heart with joy to see my father sisters & uncle & aunts friendly once more. Keep in good spirits & we will hope it will not be long until we can embrace & welcome our boy home.
I will close now. Good bye.
Enclose find a 10- Post money order
With Love
Aunt Maggie

33rd Training Battery
F.A.C. O.T.S.
[Monday] November 11, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
Tis with a smile that I write you this letter as the news here are that all men who have not finished their training will be discharged and sent home at once. this surely means me as I have not finished. And again they say that they are going to send us, Ritchie and I to school at the Cooks & Bakers but I think this will be only to have an orginazation [sic] so as to discharge us cooks. But if all things are true we will be home soon.
I was at Coke's Station this evening and the streets were lined with trucks and automobiles loaded with people blowing horns rainging [sic] bells and you could hardily [sic] hear anything for them.
When your soldier boy comes marching home we will sureley have some time[.] I don't intend to work until I have had my welcome worn out with you. ha! ha!
I have been inquiring about my mail every where but as yet I have not heard any thing. but hope to get the next ones directed to this battery.
Was at the show in Coke last night will tell you about it when I see you.
Yours with Love,
Frank R. Lane

Letter addressed to Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
April 13 / 18
Friday P.M.
Dear Louis:
That was really a nice long letter yous wrote us last Sunday. [I]t arrive out home on Wednesday. Uncle Frank received his this morning, was very much pleased. I was so sorry to hear that you and Kremer were sep[a]rated. I was so in hopes you would go across together, thought perhaps your ankle might have put you in the supply company. Who are the boys from Co. C that stayed with you in Co. F?
Papa was down at Diemers yesterday and they told him that Walter had a relapse and I believe has been sent back to the base hospital. I think he went out too soon. Gertrude Vissing is going to help Cecelia make your bag. [S]he made Brother Joe one he is still at Camp T in the Depot Brigade. [T]hey are talking about putting them in quarantine again on account of so much pneumonia. Joe thinks there should be more K.C. buildings and he thinks the Catholic ladies should entertain more like the other denominations do, taking the boys to their homes. Almost all the Italians he is with are Catholic. You know he is such a shining example in my opinion.
Mr Drew entertained at dinner the other night. I believe his son leaves soon. Joe was one of the guests. Otellia went to a meeting at church last night to prepare for a May festival, but on account of the high prices of everything decided on a collection instead. Nobody is sorry. Mary Frances went to a shower at Louise Goepper's this afternoon given by the club for Edith Herbold. Leo Michael has not yet left for France. [H]is squadron is the next to leave. [H]is father and brother Joe spent Easter Sunday with him. [H]e is very glad to be near New York, although he says any place would be better than San Antonia [sic]. [N]o one seems to like that camp. Leo Buser is trying to get into the electrical shops at camp so he can stay here.
Does Kremer get more mail than you, or is your correspondence the heaviest? Tode Gutig said to tell you “Hello,” and Hallie said tell Mr. Louis howdy for me and tell him to be a good boy.
Watch for the package I will mail on Saturday morning. [I]t takes about two days for the mail to reach there. Be sure and let us know how you spent Sunday. [D]o the people ask the boys to dinner there? I am mailing the Herald every day. [D]o you get it? Your picture looks fine on the piano. I had it framed yesterday.
As I do not know a bit of news I will close as ever
Your lovingly
Clara

Dearest Nellie -
Just received your box of candy apples, bananas and writing material, so will write you a few lines. got your letter which you wrote the 11th this morning but I did not get the box till evening.
Well I will keep both tablets as the fellow who wanted the other one is over in the 29th Co. across the railroad and I am not going to carry it to him.
I am sorry that it has been so hot there you are loosing [sic] all your tomatoes, but we can't understand every thing.
The reason I don't start to school is because they have a system just like the Moores Hill College and we will have to go two months before we have completed our studies, then we are graduates[.] we will get to be Chef or Mess Seargent [sic] who gets $60 [per month] and that is what I want. so if I get to be a graduate cook I am going to come home for a while if I can and you can prepare to get ready to take part of my wages after that. I don't expect to get a furlough now until I am thru school.
Well the months will soon go by if we are kept busy all the time, as we have been in the past few days. when I am off duty, I get to sweep the squad room and go over to the Y.M.C.A. and write letters so you see my time is well spent. Just as soon as I get my money [I] am going to town long enough to get my pictures taken and if they are good I may send you one of them.
I expect to go to the place where I moved from Sunday afternoon to see if any one is there from up around home as they are coming in from all over the U.S.
I have not read my [word indecipherable] yet but tomorrow after noon will have some time and while I rest I will read them.
Well I have to get up about half past three in the morning so will quit for the time.
As ever yours with love
Frank

Dearest Nellie -
Just received your box of candy apples, bananas and writing material, so will write you a few lines. got your letter which you wrote the 11th this morning but I did not get the box till evening.
Well I will keep both tablets as the fellow who wanted the other one is over in the 29th Co. across the railroad and I am not going to carry it to him.
I am sorry that it has been so hot there you are loosing [sic] all your tomatoes, but we can't understand every thing.
The reason I don't start to school is because they have a system just like the Moores Hill College and we will have to go two months before we have completed our studies, then we are graduates[.] we will get to be Chef or Mess Seargent [sic] who gets $60 [per month] and that is what I want. so if I get to be a graduate cook I am going to come home for a while if I can and you can prepare to get ready to take part of my wages after that. I don't expect to get a furlough now until I am thru school.
Well the months will soon go by if we are kept busy all the time, as we have been in the past few days. when I am off duty, I get to sweep the squad room and go over to the Y.M.C.A. and write letters so you see my time is well spent. Just as soon as I get my money [I] am going to town long enough to get my pictures taken and if they are good I may send you one of them.
I expect to go to the place where I moved from Sunday afternoon to see if any one is there from up around home as they are coming in from all over the U.S.
I have not read my [word indecipherable] yet but tomorrow after noon will have some time and while I rest I will read them.
Well I have to get up about half past three in the morning so will quit for the time.
As ever yours with love
Frank

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie F. Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Rural Route #2, Box 52 Postmarked Saturday, September 14, 1918. <br />Cook Frank R. Lane 6th Observation Battery F.A.C.O.T.S. Camp Taylor, Ky. <br />Sept. 13 1918 <br />Dear Sweetheart - Will write you a few lines now. have just finished my work and shaved. I feel tolerbly [sic] well altho my cold is not much better. but my eyes do not bother [me] any more, for which I am glad. This morning the Lieut. came in the kitchen while we were cleaning up and said that the Major had said that we had the cleanest kitchen inside and out in the Camp area. now what do you think of that? and maybe we did not feel good for that coming from the Major is grand. I do not know but I believe that if I could try, that I might get off to come home and help cut the corn as some of the boys got off for 30 days. but I hardily [sic] know what to do as I was just home. but it would be grand if I could. Am going over to the Co and see why I haven't got any pay. it seems to me like we aught [sic] to be getting ours now. it will be 2 months monday, and if I do I am going to send some home to you - for if you are not mine by law you are by love and I don't want any one but you to have any thing from me see. When I think what you were to me those few but happy days I was home it seems that I can do my work with a lighter heart than before, because a whole lot of good was done in those few days[.] they surely were a joyous lot to me. I will ever remember them. I am going to have my hair cut again this evening so that I woun't look so long haired. Have you got our pictures yet and how are they but I know they are O.K. or at least yours are if I did not spoil both. I am going to send you these two pieces of poetry and I wish you would see that one is published in the Rep [“The Versailles Republican” newspaper.] for Roy Hunters and some of the other boys sake[.] I will mark the one I mean. the other you can hand to Mrs. Gloyd to read at the [event name indecipherable] or to some one if you wish but be sure you get it back so you can keep it. Well I will write again tomorrow evening. <br /><br />Yours with love Frank <br />S.W.A.K.

Letter addressed to Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
Sunday night
Apr 14th 1818
Dear Louis:
We have no company tonight so I am going to write you a nice short letter. I do not know if you will call it that or not. Your letters are just fine we all enjoy them and did not know our little brother could write such interesting ones.
Mary Frances went to Edith Herboldts shower last week given at Louise Goepper's house. She had every thing fixed so elaborate they played cards and Mary Frances won the consolation prize two pretty handkerchiefs. She got so many beautiful presents[.] M. F. took a pyrex pie pan with a fancy edge. Edith went on a short wedding trip to Dawson Springs. [S]he lives in the Washington apartments and is now Mrs. W. Griffin.
Last night Mary Frances and I kept house. Willie took the rest of the family to town in the machine. Papa went to the Mary Anderson. [H]e said the show was fine. Clara and Otillia went to Macauley's to see Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorne in the Rambler Rose. The show was so good that the house was crowded. Millie went shopping and spent the evening at the K.C. Hall where they had a very nice dance more boys than girls which is something very unusual. [T]he girls all had to have a card. [A]fter the shows they all met at the K.C. and got home before twelve. The two Kelly boys want Willie to join the boat club but he is undecided about it.
This afternoon Willie and some of us went to Vespers and then out to Camp Taylor. Aunt Lou has never been out so she went along[.] [S]topped at No. 2 building. Kelly showed them the chapel. [H]e was very much surprised to hear you were gone. Most of his boys the 334th Infantry have gone[.] [H]e hated to see them leave they had been there so long. Kelly said O Daly is at Camp Sevier but we think it was North Caroline [sic] he was sent to. They are beginning to sod and plant trees out at camp.
Did you send all the relations cards? Aunt Lou's did not receive any so be sure and write them something. Did you get to church this morning and how do you like their K.C. building.
Louis we mailed your bag yesterday before you asked for the second so I will get some more goods. I hope it will prove satisfactory for I am not going to wait for an answer. The little hanger on the inside is one of Brother Joe's inventions to hang up when in use. The small bag in the inside is for your serving materials. Dont you think Otillia embroidered your name real pretty? I am anxiously waiting to hear in what condition and how soon your cake arrived. Clara mailed it on the way in Saturday morning and the man at the Post Office said it would reach Greenville Sunday afternoon but did not know how soon you would receive it.
Tell Kremer hello for me. I wish you boys could have been out home today to eat some of our fresh strawberries & cream. We had to[o] much as usual. The garden is getting along just fine. Papa plowed the ground and some of the seeds are planted out there and the other ones in the hot beds are up already[.] [W]e planted them real far apart and are not going to transplant them at all until it is time to set them out. It looks as if the snow made the grass grow so fast that I have to cut it again this week. It was down to twenty eight degrees but it did not freeze the lilacs both colors are perfectly beautiful.
We are contemplating having a dinner party Sunday night [-] the Chaplains and secretaries, and Uncle Frank and Aunt Maggie, but do not know if we will carry it through or not[.]
Elsie Harpring has a little son[.] [S]he is out at St. Mary & Elizabeth's hospital.
I suppose you have your picture by this time. We bought such a pretty bronze frame for ours to stand on the piano[.] [I]t looks just fine in it, and Aunt Maggie has hers on the wall so we see you every day.
Everybody wants to know how you like Camp Sevier and if you really think it nicer than Camp Taylor as most boys find the other camps[.] [T]hey say Elizabeth Zehnder said that E. Brown was called to join the signal Corps, but his Captain made him top Seargant [sic] so he could not leave.
How is that worrisome cough of yours - did you lose it in the sunny south?
Everybody is well at home. It is past eleven oclock so I will say Goodbye
With love and kisses
Your sister,
Cecelia

Monday Evening
Oct. 14, 1918
Dear Louis:
If you were in Louisville I wonder what you would think of it, a heck of a place. The Spanish flu is closing almost everything. We cant go to theatre, picture shows, dances, and even the churches are locked. Every one had family prayers at their homes yesterday. Had ours at eleven o'clock. We had an early dinner, and read our papers in the afternoon. Uncle Frank, Aunt Maggie & Cousin Albert were out for supper. In the evening they played cards, Cecelia read and Clara, Otillia and myself went down to Harprings.
Elsie called in the morning and asked us to come down. Mrs Harpring and Laura left Thursday for Indianapolis to visit Joe. He expects to leave this week for Purdue University. There were five hundred in the class, and thirty were picked out of it, to be sent to this place. He was one of the boys that were selected. Some more of the Harpring's luck. Mr Harpring went up with them, but came home Sat. night, and left on a business trip Sunday. Elsie, Henry George and the baby, Robert are staying out with Helen & Anna Christine. We spent a very pleasant evening talking about every thing & every body. Clara took a couple of your latest letters along with us, they think you write such interesting ones. They are always so anxious to hear what you are doing. Elsie said she and Helen talk about you so much.
John Goss looks fine in his uniform. Billy thinks he has such a dirty neck but I imagine the blue rubs off on it.
I have been asked to join another club. Helen & Laura Harpring, Lelia & Estelle Traub, Nellie Stack, Marie DeSopia. Bertha Goss & myself. A five hundred club. We were going to have our first meeting Sunday, but will only have it next Sunday. Laura being away and John Goss had some boys for supper Sun. and wanted Bertha to help entertain.
Lelia Traub & Nellie Stark are taking business courses. Lelia received a letter from Ray Goepper last week. She was never so surprised in her life. You see you are not the only one who likes to get mail.
I was so surprised at the meeting with D. Shelly. I never imagined that we favored each other so much. To be picked out of that bunch of girls that come to the K of C dances and taken for your sister. She seems to be a very sweet girl. Oh, by the way I met Lois Stice on the street last week. She and her two sisters are in Lou. attending the university, inquired for you also.
Well, all the boys that I was intimate with out at the Camp are moved. That is one of the reasons why I am so anxious for the flu, to leave so the dances can start, so I can meet some more boys. It is rather dull when you have been used to having them. Sergt Major Walker & Sergt D[name indecipherable] are at Camp Gordon Ga. attending the Infantry Central Officers Training School. In a letter that I got from Walker Thursday he said they are working them so hard there. From five in the morning till ten at night. With Saturday afternoon and Sundays off. Said he has spent five of the most strenuous weeks of his life. It lasts four months but they will make it in three. He was one of those that had an easy time of it at Camp Taylor.
Cecelia's Lieut friend Tom Mitchell also left. He is the big[g]est tease you would want to meet, but he sure is good looking. I think he knows it too, with no doubt about it. He would just as soon stay in the kitchen as the parlor, and wanted to help with every thing. Told Cecelia he thinks I look like Margaret Clark. Just a little bit of a compliment, dont you think?
Martin Holskneck took me to the Mary Anderson last Sunday night. Ray Potts and his girl were with us. The show was very good. Lasted till ten fifty, just in time to get something at Lee L[name indecipherable] and make our eleven twenty car. Billy got on at the limits, so I made Martin get off. I was too sleepy to sit up till one. He wanted to take me again this Sunday but the shows closed this week.
The flu is getting better out at Camp now. They had less than half as many new cases today, then they have been having. I think we will be allowed to use our machine next Sunday and hereafter. They are going to ration the Gasoline out to the people. I dont think any one is sorry.
It sure seems like fall now, with all the leaves drop[p]ing off the trees and we are expecting a killing frost any time. We made another trip out to the cemetery last week took the Aunts along. They took some of their dahlias and we also took some of ours. They are beautiful this year. Especially our reds and the yellow ones.
Oh! I almost forget to tell you, I was so pleased to received that letter that you sent me. We are expecting one from you today. I will have to close for this time but will write soon again.
With Love from all and especially your little sister
Mary Frances

Dearest Nellie -
Thursday morning and will write you a few lines and tell you some news.
I am feeling O.K. and expect to come home soon. they are discharging men every where and all the time, and the papers say that any one who asks for a discharge will get it, as they can not hold men against their will, and I sure want to get back to help cut the winters wood and get the corn in. the farmer boys and the ones who are married will get home first so I am told.
I got my pictures last night and will send one if I can get it in the envelope and if I can't I will bring it when I come. I think they are real good for the form of which they were taken. ha! ha!
I have a lot to tell you when I get home and I can hardily [sic] wait until I get there. tell you Pa to file the saws and get every thing in shape so we can make things hum.
I got my pay yesterday. $46.20/100 think I will send $40 home so watch the mail. I have not heard from McClure yet so don't know what to do about my Dr. Bill. I can't get any thing until he sends in his bill.
After the middle of next week don't write me any more until you hear from me as I may be on my way home and then I would miss my letter and always put return on the envelope.
hoping to hear or see you soon I am as every yours to love
Your soldier, ^intended^ h---d

Letter addressed to Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
Tue. P.M.
April 16/18
Dear Louis:
I was very glad to get your nice long letter on Saturday, did not answer because Cecelia said she would write. Went to the theatre Saturday night, saw Roy Goepper, Frank Senn, Casey, John Hennessy and wife, Mr & Mrs Young and many others I knew.
We did not get to confession on Saturday so Otillia and I went to the 8:15 Mass as usual. [E]verybody got balled out. [F]rom the first Sunday in May our pastor is going to take up the collection in that Mass which is to be 10cts. [H]ere's one that is going to put in a nickel if present. Antoinette Goss told me at vespers that John had received your letter last week.
In the afternoon we went out to camp and took Aunt Lou with us. [S]he was very much taken with Will Kelly and asked him lots of questions. Things are beginning to look nice. [T]he tennis courts are dandy, all fenced in and benches around the side. K.C. Bldgs 2 and 3 have porch swings, lots of sodding has been done, the headquarters of the 334 Infantry looks especially nice. [W]e did not see the 336th this time. In the Depot Brigade they have a very pretty rustic summer house with a rustic fence around it and the benches to match. The men in the kitchen now wear those khaki suits like the tire service men.
Dorthy Shelley was in yesterday afternoon and introduced herself. [S]he was very much distressed that she had not heard from you since the early part of last week. [S]he said she had a package for you but was afraid to send it thinking perhaps you had left Camp Sevier. She told me she thought your picture was perfectly grand and looks so nice in the elegant frame she bought for it. You will be some framed up after a while. Hers will make the fourth package you should get. [D]id you get them all? I sent the first box of chocolates, ordered them last Friday. I mail the Herald every day.
I was interrupted just now by Bernard Schieman and his fiancee. [T]hey were in to buy a water heater for the Gallagher residence. [T]hey are going to live there for a while until things are more settled[.] [H]e is in Class 1A. Ed Lawless just showed me his final card[.] [H]e has been accepted as clerk whenever he is needed. Do not mention this in any of your letters because he does not intend to tell any one yet because it may be some time before he is called. Has the ghost walked yet? The Boston Shoe store is burning. Must be quite a large fire.
Will Bohan has gone with that bunch to Indianapolis to take a two months course in the automobile and motor cycle division. Watson said after that they will then train another bunch. The paper says immediate over sea service. He would have come in this next draft.
As it is six o'clock I will hear from you real soon
Yours lovingly
Clara

Letter addressed to Louis J. Discher, Co F 120 Infantry, Camp Sevier, S.C.
April 17 - 1918
Sgt Louis J. Discher
Dear Louis
Your letter received and we were delighted to hear from you. I hope you are now out of quarantine. Let me hear about the KC building & its management.
The other day I had Lt. Thorne Crabb in the store & he told me how pleased all the officers of Camp Taylor are to hear about you boys at Camp Sevier. He said an officer wrote them that you were the best drilled & finest looking bunch of soldiers that had ever come to Camp Sevier.
Also the other day there was a young lady in the store who seems to be very interested in you, so much so that Clara gave her your last letter to read. She is a very bright & sweet young lady but I am not going to tell you her name. However I will tell you that she lives on Floyd St.
The St Xavier Alumni performance “My New Curate” is a great success. Last Sunday they had a big audience. This evening Maggie, Clara, Cecelia & I are going to see it.
Although it has been very cool lately, yet we are very busy. Gus & Coomey have both given up their jobs. Coonie [sic] without saying a word about it. Gus had stayed home for the fourth time since Oct. 1. First one week, then 2 weeks, then 3 weeks & now he was off 5 weeks, always expecting his full pay. This last time he did not send word & we heard again & again from people who saw him on the street. So finally he did come to see me one evening & asked for another chance, admitting he had not done right. At the same time he said he could get a position with Bomar-Summers & Co. As he had been so very unsatisfactory I thought I had better let him go. Willie comes in whenever we need him & puts in a day or two every week. We have a right good boy in place of Coonie & very likely will have Albert Dietsche in the place of Gus. We have plenty of help. Will Heil[?] is still with us.
The other day I sent you a box of chocolates. I hope you received them. Enclosed you will find a five dollar bill. It may help some to make things pleasant for you. Whatever you do, remember your duty as a Catholic. Attend Mass regular & receive Holy Communion often. Give others a good example. Try to be also a good soldier & make a record for yourself.
May you continue to be the pride of your good father, your brother & sisters, your aunts & uncle.
Let me hear from you often & if you have to go across telegraph at once.
With love & best wishes I am
Your loving uncle

Dearest Nellie -
Will write again altho I almost feel as if I ought not as I have not had an answer since about Tuesday or Wednesday at the most. but guess you were to[o] busy but could you not write just a few lines at least twice a week. Oh, kid you don't know how I enjoy those letters. if you knew what we have to contend with [by] the way of tempt[at]ions you would be shocked to the utmost. they [are] such as I can hardily [sic] name, but just a few are vice, swearing, and vulgar talking. these are the most we have here. the boys go to town at least once a week, but I have not yet and that is not all. as long as you still love me rest assured that if I go to town I will come back just as much a man as I was when I went. I may have not always been O.K. but since you have come into my life I have been different and will continue to do so from now on[.] some of the books we read here give us a lecture on the tempt[at]ions that we should shun and why. So remember that when I come back to you I will be just as good as when I left, so help me God.
We are to have an inspection by an officer from Washington this morning and so we are trying to clean up. I will go back on duty at noon and then tomorrow afternoon I am going over to see if my Co. is still where they were.
I heard that Talcum powder would take dandruff out of your hair and would also keep your hair from coming out and would make it grow in again. I am going to try it when I come home.
Well I have to go wash some duds so I guess I had better bring this to a close. you see we have no special wash day down here, just wash when we have time so this [is] my time and I always try to keep my clothes clean.
Write soon as you can and believe me always as yours to command
With love
Frank

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie F. Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Rural Route #2, Box 52 Postmarked Wednesday, September 18, 1918. <br />Camp Taylor Kentucky Sept. 18, 1918 <br />Dearest - Tis almost time for me to go in the kitchen but will write first. the men of this battery moved to another building, so this is the 3rd Observation Battery now instead of the 6th so you letters you addressed to the 6th I will get O.K. but address the next you write to the 3rd and maybe you had better not try to write more than once every week as I am liable to change any time. We had no one for supper last night, [or] for breakfast this morning but the cooks and kitchen police and perhaps no more until tomorrow so we have it tolerbly [sic] easy now. Oh! yes four of us went to Louisville took in the Gayety and I am sending you the program. it was just grand. we had a good time and got home about half past twelve. I got my pay this morning for the last week in July and August. so now I won't send home for any more, but just as soon as I get my check chashed [sic] I will send you $10 or more as my check is for $32.10, and I will get another pay next month. I suppose you have our pictures now and do nothing but look at them every time you have a chance. I wish I could get mine soon. they have not come yet, as I have not had a word since I came back down here. We will soon get our winter clothes then perhaps we will get new uniforms that some one can't laugh at. they will be warmer than the ones we now have. I went over to the Y.M.C.A. and got me some writing paper and envelopes so while there I wrote my address and my Lodge so that if any thing should happen they can find me. I thot maybe I could have my mail sent to the Y. but they are not allowed to receive any mail. I am waiting and longing for the day to come when I can come home, to clasp you in my arms and receive those kisses and no one can give but you. if only this cruel war would end what a lot of happy people there would be. Wallace Bupp has never come around yet and as I don't know his address of course I don't know where to find him. Is Dolly at Bupps or at her folks? I suppose when I left every one was glad and talked very different from what they did when I was there. <br />This finds me yours forever <br />Cook Frank R. Lane <br />3rd Observation Battery F.A.C.O.T.S. <br />Camp Taylor Kentucky <br />S.W.A.K.

33rd Training Battery
F.A.C. O.T.S.
Camp Taylor, Kentucky
[Tuesday] Nov. 19, 1918
Dearest Nellie -
The reason I am using this paper is because it was to[o] cold in the barricks [sic] so I came over here. [The Y.M.C.A.]
I am feeling O.K. and still living in hopes of getting home soon.
It has been raining and snowing ever since Saturday so you know it is very disagreeable to every one as we had been having such nice weather.
We are expecting our discharge any day now and when I get mine for home and you. I only wish that all who left home might be able to come back, but that can not be so we must make the best of it and hope that there will never be another cause to cause us to leave the loved ones at home.
You must [not] write any more unless you trust that your letters either reach me or are returned and it is possible that they will not be returned as the men have to[o] much work to do. so I will do all the writing and trust that you are O.K. but if any thing happens to you you can telegraph me just as quick.
The boys are going and coming just the same as ever, as there was no word about the peace. but believe me when ever the day comes when we can start home there will be something doing.
I hope we get away from here before winter sets in as it won't be very nice down here when it snows and blows. not nearly so nice as it will be by the stove in our room. ha! ha!
We can tell a few things when we come back that will make the boys who stayed at home blush. I am certainly glad that I was not one of them who stayed. it is sur[e]ly worth the price I have paid to have had this experience of four months training.
It certainly will snow as the clouds are hanging low in the sky and it is awfully dark.
hoping to be with you soon I am yours

Letter addressed to Miss Nellie F. Rahe, Milan, Indiana, Rural Route #2, Box 52 Postmarked Tuesday, September 3, 1918. <br /><br />25 Battery F.A.C.O.T.S. Camp Taylor, Kentucky [Monday] Sept 2, 1918 <br /><br />Sweetheart - Just before I start to work again, I will write you a few lines, so that you will know where my thots are. Well yesterday for dinner, we had chicken, mashed potatoes, celery, gravy and ice cream. so you see we had quite a dinner. I got my courtesy card so now I can get a pass I guess, so will try to go visiting, also am going to ask the mess Sergeant to try to get me a furlough for two weeks from today as we will be changed from here. I did not ask to come home yesterday as I could not have gotten off. They are changing Kitchen Police, and cooks here all the time some coming in and some going out but I guess we will stay here for a while at least. I understand I was put down as a second cook here but am not sure. oh! yes. I am getting on fast. You see we have first cook, second cook, and then the helpers some two or three. Two of our cooks went to West Point to cook for the Officers so you see they are some cooks. one has cooked for training camps before and the other one has cooked in the lumber camps of Wis. I exchanged one pair of pants this morning so now I have a fairly good looking suit. so if I get to come home I will look half way descent [sic]. I saw a great many people coming and going yesterday but none that I knew. so the Camp was and is as lonesome as ever. When you write be sure to put return to you address on every letter as you have done so that if I don't get them they will be returned to you. also put the address on the envelope that I wrote at the end of my letter which I wrote the 1st of Sept. Two hundred and two negroes were sent across yesterday. they were all six foot and husky. only one short man among them and he was a drummer. they will sure make the foe set up and take notice. Will Bateman is expecting to be transferred soon from Camp Taylor but he does not know where. they sure are seperating [sic] the boys. you don't know where, when or what is to be done with you. I still have some of my tablets you sent me but thot I would get some of this kind and save the tablet until I can't get any Y.M.C.A. paper. I went to a movie last night but it was not like we had at Versailles because it was not so good. will tell you all about it later. Well I will write again tomorrow evening. <br />Yours with love, <br />Frank
