Two Letters From Marvin Somerville From War Front
Frances November 7 1918 Dear Mother Father Brothers Sisters and all Whom it May Concern I am alive and well though on the move under harsh conditions now billeted in a fairly large village once occupied by the Germans I write on a marble slab and hope for better weather ahead The American forces here are very fortunate and well trained with few casualties I plan to forward this to reach all in the family including Sis Rod and Max through the censor board I hope to return soon and will write more often now that the war is ending France November 15 1918 Dear Homefolks Now that the war is over I find time to write again I have had letters from you and ask you to keep sending them We are not home yet but expect to sail soon Our division endured shellfire for over 80 days and had many close calls The unit has made a strong record which may hasten our return after the peace treaties I signed I suppose letters may not be censored and I hope to keep writing as time allows
