TRANSCRIBED FROM THE SPRINGDALE NEWS DECEMBER 13, 1918 P. 3
Somewhere in France
Nov. 2, 1918.
Dear wife:
To let you know where I am and how I am getting along I am writing this letter. This leaves me in the best of health, and hope you are the same. The reason I did not write you before, I was up in the front for fifteen days and was not in the 112th Inf. now they sent us up here and put us in the 110th Inf. so we have been busy moving around and could not get any paper so I did not write.
As I have been moving around and in a different outfit, I have not heard you or any of the folks since we left Camp Pike, and I would like to hear from home.
How is the baby? I would like to see him and talk to him.
We are n a town which the Huns have blown up and you ought to see it. The weather is cold and damp and it is raining today.
How is it over there?
Your loving husband,
Troy Wilson
NOTES: Troy Wilson was born on April 10, 1888 in Springdale, Arkansas and died on October 16, 1944 in Oklahoma. He is buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
