TRANSCRIBED FROM THE JONESBORO DAILY TRIBUNE NOVEMBER 27, 1918 P. 3
October 22, 1918,
Somewhere in France.
Dear Sis:
Will answer your most welcomed letter I received yesterday. Sure was glad to hear from you sis. We are sure having some bad weather now-it rains every day. I sure hate it about George Pickett, but I guess every one that knew him does.
Sis I sure hope I get to come home before long for am getting a little homesick and sure would like to see all the folks. Say, I don’t guess I will be there for the fair this year as it is too far away. Sis I have received all your letters. I guess I have got three or more. I never have time to write hardly. I have to go to school till eight o’clock at night and we have no place to write only in the billets. Sis my French girl has left town and will be gone ten days. I sure had a time Sunday evening. Went out walking with her, but could not talk much. I am not much on that line any way. I could say “we” and all that, but I got along all right. Sis tell mother that I am in the best of health and for her not to worry about me. It is getting pretty cold in this country now. Sis you ought to have got my Liberty Bond and I don’t guess I have got the rest of my insurance for they are not taking anything off my pay. Well sis tell all hello and give them my love.
Answer soon,
SERGEANT A. C. HOGAN,
Co. G. 143rd Inf., American E. F.,
A.P. O. 904.
NOTES: Sergeant Arthur C. Hogan was from Jonesboro. He was born April 20, 1898 and died June 16, 1986.
