TRANSCRIBED FROM THE DAILY ARKANSAS GAZETTE AUGUST 25, 1918 P. 8
Italians were sure glad to see us. We paraded all over the town the first day we landed and they just covered us with flowers. Oh, they were glad to see us and they treated us just fine. Believe I will get me a girl and stay here after the war. How does that sound? I’m going to send you all some post cards so you can see what a fine county we live in. It doesn’t get dark until 10: 30 and it is day at 4 o’clock. Everything is cheaper here but food, and that you can hardly buy for love or money. Tell all the boys to write. You do not know how proud I am to receive a letter from home.
NOTES: This partial letter was written by George Wright to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Wright of Little Rock, Arkansas.
