TRANSCRIBED FROM THE SPRINGDALE NEWS MARCH 21, 1919 P. 4
Valdahon, France Feb. 26, 1919.
Mr. W. M. Steven, Springdale, Ark.
Dear Sir:
Noticed your ad in the Springdale News for some time about that hound pup. We have your hound pup over here having found him somewhere in “francias.”
Pour Que, you no send 25 franc for your hound pup, and 25 centimes fro expressage. If you send money we will send pup back “tout suite.” If you send no franc, we send your hound to the “third” army, you know what that means, on the Rhine. “Becoupe Sausage tout suite.”
Anxiously awaiting your reply
Yours truly,
J. A. Irving.
Bat. A 142nd F.A., A.E.F.
P.S. If you let him remain over here one month more he will wear a service stripe as cut.
