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

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

[Thursday] Nov. 7, 1918
Dearest -
I am going over to the Y. to see if there is any mail from you, but first I am going to write a few lines.
Last night we had a feast fit for a queen and we all had a good time also we got some extra pay for our exertions, and so did the K of Ps as they worked until eleven o'clock so as to get the dishes washed. the package I sent you yesterday evening was a sample of the cake and also some of the paper napkins. I would have sent more but they were all used up before I knew it. You can keep them as a rememberance [sic] of the 6th day of November 1918. Say ^1:30 PM^ but I am happy word just came that Germany had accepted the peace terms and the bells and whistles were making a lot of noise.
oh! I hope it so for I sur[e]ly want to come back to you and home.
I will finish this when I have come back from the Y.
Friday morning Nov. 8. will try to write you a few more lines. oh! sweetheart Nellie are you sick? that you dont write I am worr[y]ing about you it has been more than a week and yet I have not had a line from you.
I went down to see Mrs. Klotter last evening they said they had been worried about me as they had not heard or seen me for so long, but Anna had written that I was home sick. They were tickeled [sic] to see me.
And say! they have t[w]o new babies in their family the d[a]ughter has a boy and the daughter-in-law has a daughter. I wonder if I brought them that luck ha! ha! they are so proud of these new comers.
The Louisville people tried to tear up things yesterday when the good news came and they were just wild last night. say I will be coming home some of these days and then home and you.
I am going over to see about my money as they say I can't get it until Dec.! and I am going to hallo & whop, and raise h--l in general because I was home sick and could not sign the pay rool [sic] in October, but I did in September.
This to one I love
I am your as ever

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

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

Dearest Nellie -
This evening will write you a few lines and then mail it as I go over to the movies at the Y.
This finds me able to smoke my cigar as you know that I am tolerbly [sic] well. altho of mornings I am so weak I can hardily [sic] go. I am still taking medicine that the Camp Dr. gave me. I wrote Dr McClure a letter but did not hear from him yet. you might call him and give him my address if you will, please.
I was at Louisville last night and the crowd oh! my! you could hardily [sic] get along there was so many people out. They shoved right and left and on Walnut street they got me up against a plate window. I thot it was going to break and you aught [sic] to have seen me crowd my way to the street and after that I soon came back to camp. the town was full of drunks altho they were all civillians [sic].
All of the Artillery Area praded peraraded [sic] at the training field on Hess Lane today[.] it was so far away that we could not see from here what it was like but I know it was great.
When the war is over and I hold you again in my arms I will be happy oh! so happy and I look forward to that day from day to day with a longing no one can describe.
Yours until death do us part.

[Friday] Nov. 15 1918
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

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

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 -----------

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

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

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

Dearest Nellie -
Well I will write an answer to your letters which I received today. they were written on Nov. 8 & 10 so you see they were on the way a good while but I got them just the same.
We just heard this evening that we will be transferred tomorrow morning and will be ready in a few days to come home so they say but I am going to wait until I get my papers so you must wait with patience as I know you will. I am trying too but it is very near more than I can do.
I also got a letter from my beloved sister-in-law Ruth. so you will get to read it when I come home if you want to.
As to that cake I sent[,] you can do as you please. but I sent it to you to eat but you know best and can use it as a [word indecipherable].
The boys are leaving every day in large numbers so we will soon know what they are going to do with us. I will let you know just as soon as I know as we will find out about two or three days before.
I suppose the load of furniture is all paid for as every thing else is see.
I hope that when I come home some one will say something about Duncans I want to tell them something that they won't forget, as you know that I am wearing U.S. uniform and they can't insult that, and as to making Mr. Duncan pay for that transportation that is all a fraud[.] the Government pays all charges and if I was Mr. Duncan I would write the Government headquarters about it.
When this reaches you I hope to know when I am coming home.
Your soldier boy, 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.

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

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

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

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

Letter addressed to Corporal Louis J. Discher, Co. F, 20 Infantry, 30 Division, American Expeditionary Forces. Address on envelope scribbled over, and stamped “Return to Writer.”
LetterNo. 42
Thurs. P.M. Oct 10th 1918
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.
