TRANSCRIBED FROM THE SCOTT COUNTY ADVANCE REPORTER
Denver, Colo.,
Nov. 27th
Dear Folks
Will write a few lines. I rec’d the paper o.k. and noted the article. I stayed in town last night. It was cold and I had to meet Frances at 1:30 a.m. She is still working on the Post---worked all week and 15 hours Saturday. It is snowing this a.m., snows nearly every week, sometimes every day.---We are still adding new equipment to our printery. There is only the Corporal and myself left to do the work, the others got shipped out---to Oklahoma.
It is rumored that Logan is going to be made a recuperation camp for the returned wounded. Don’t you know?---Ship them here after they get theirs.
Am expecting to be made corporal any day, tho it takes a long time. Isn’t long till Christmas, guess we will have a big time if I come home. Guess you are lonesome while mamma’s away.
Write soon.
Emmett
NOTES: Only the first name is given.
