TRANSCRIBED FROM THE POCAHONTAS STAR HERALD FEBRUARY 18, 1919 P. 3
St. Johann, Germany, Jan. 28, 1919.
Mrs. W. J. Burrow,
Hoxie, Ark.
Dearest Mother:
I will write you today to let you know I am well, and hope this letter will find you well also.
It snowed here today and the weather has been pretty cold. I guess you think it snows all the time over here, for every time I write I tell you about it snowing. We have had a little bit of good weather.
I have already begun to call Germany my home, for it seems that we will never see the U.S.A. again. I have lost all hopes. We haven’t anything to do to pass the time away, and that is what makes it so hard to stay over here.
You all surely think that I am dead, for I can’t hear from you. Would certainly like to see you the best in the world.
I can’t think of much to write, so will close for this time, hoping to get a letter from you soon.
Your Son,
Co. K. 38th Inf., 3rd, Div.
A.P.O. 740
NOTES: This letter was written by Coy Sherman.
