Letter From Emmitt Bagwell 1 From France Camp De Havre
Dear Father I am well and feeling good despite rain showers. We are in De Havre France after a long voyage from Hoboken aboard our transport with hydroplanes and torpedo boats in view. We crossed 12 days at sea with some seasickness then landed after Nov 5 sighting land was joyful. We stayed at a camp with British troops and faced a brutal storm before England. I hope you and mother stay well and please tell me about Otis Burson Henry Diat and other home boys. Your son Knunitt Bagwell American By France.
