TRANSCRIBED FROM THE LONOKE DEMOCRAT JUNE 12, 1919 P. 1
Dear Sis:
Well among some of the things on this trip, we saw the Kaisers palace, also escorted ourselves thru his Majestys rooms and stately halls, with its massive columns. Saw a statue of the once Kaiser, and many ancient castles. Took a 40 Kilo boat ride down the Rhine river, with a band lunch, Red Cross, and Y. M. C. A. women on board. We crossed the river on a pontoon bridge built over 100 years ago, and went 100 miles beyond.
Coblenz is big German supply base (I mean it ust to be) but there is Beaucamp, Sammies, there now.
Best regards to all my friends and oodles of love to you.
Bro. Eldon
NOTES: This is probable Eldon Masters. His sister is Mrs. Pat. M. Swaim
