TRANSCRIBED FROM THE ASHLEY COUNTY EAGLE OCTOBER 3, 1918 P. 1
U.S.N. Air Station, France.
I am well and doing fine: my health is lots better since I left the states. So don’t you worry about me, for I am all right–We have a visit nearly every night from the Germans, trying to drop bombs on us; but they can’t have any luck. Our air craft guns generally get them–I sure will have a big story to tell you when I come home. We have lots of fun here, if we do have our hardships–it all goes together.
NOTES: This letter was written by Andrew T. Harris to his mother Annie Harris. He departed New York, NY on July 14, 1918 onboard the Empress of Britain. He was serving in the July Medical Replacement Draft Co. 8 Ft. Screven, Georgia.
