John Hoke of French Camp reports a family tale from amid the war. His son, John Z. Hoke Jr., an officer with the Seventeenth Engineers in France, sent a letter home describing Christmas leave and weather, health, and life at the front. A striking moment followed when a cat resembling Tom appeared in Hoke’s tent, appearing identical to the family pet that vanished weeks earlier, though the cat speaks no English.
