Letter From Fred Mabbutt AEF France December 1918
Dear Sisters, I have been busy and the armistice changes little our work. We spent weeks away from camp traveling from Paris to Luxemburg and along the front. I saw Meuse scarred towns and villages like Sho shone now piles of rubble. We plan to move to Paris and maybe join the presidential tour. Charles leads one of France's largest transportation pools with nearly two thousand trucks and about as many men. he may become a major soon. I hear from Salt Lake and note the mild fall with frequent rain. I close for now and will write again from Paris. Your loving brother Fred.
