Sgt Martin Saggau, France.Below we publish two tellers received by Mrs. Johfi Saggau from her son. Marl’ln, who Is In active service with the 3.13th supply train. Martin is a truck repair man and his work brings him not far behind the laines. although he states that he is not in danger,Oct. 25, 1918.Dear Mother:Well here goes to let you know that we are still on deck and feeling tine. We are doing our work now, and nro not very far behind the lines, but ure not in any danger as we never go up with the trucks. All we do is to look them over every morning when they leave here and see that they are all right, so you see we are not working very hard.1 wrote you the other day and sent a Christmas coupon, but forgot to tell you that the thing we would like best would be a good field glass, but 1 suppose by the time you get this it will be too late. We could buy one here but they cost so much. Money is pretty scarce in this league, but it doesn’t make much difference whether we have any or not as you can't buy anything worth while.Hannes Johannsen came over here the other day to see us. He found out where we were from one of our trucks. Our drlvors come back every once in a while and tell us that someone told them they knew us. The other day Leslie Hunt came over to see us and •we jure wero surprised, becuqse you know he left Denlaon a long time ago.How is grandmother getting along? Give her my best regards. We are having pretty good weather now. only H gets pretty damp, and most of the boys have bad colds. I had a little touch of It for a couple of days, but am all right now.I must close for this time. Give our Lest regards to all the folks and tell Kddie and Harry they should s6e some or the air fights.Your loving son, Martin.Nov. 2, 1918.
