Letters Bring Joy To Anxious Mother
Anxious mother receives two letters from Private Cornelians F Regan of Company D 309th Infantry dated before heavy fighting. Regan writes he is well though the unit faced tall slamming and delays while others share the family worry. The Plainfield community, including the mother, widely regards him with high esteem. Before enlisting in February he held a key position in the New York office of George M Holstein shipbuilder on Wuchung Avenue.
