The Treickes and Letters From Front Line Soldiers
SoMa Msg: 5 details a long, misspelled letter from John Reeder of the 350th Infantry and a second note from another soldier. It recalls armistice night celebrations in French villages, front line experiences, a wish to return home, weather, bees, and a missing allotment. It also notes influenza concerns and a late-decoding postal update to family.
