Paul Pommer correspondence, 1918-04-11, World War I
Letter from Ernest Pommer to his brother musketeer Paul Pommer in Brussels, Belgium. Postmarked April 11, 1918, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Ernst mentions that he received a letter recently with Paul's address and had a few moments to write. Referring to Pommer as his "poor brother" he states that their father had sent two marks, hoping that it does not get lost in the mailing process. Ernest mentions Pommer's father, Gustav, who wanted to also write to Pommer, but by evening he is often tired from managing the shop. He will write to Pommer when the opportunity comes. Ernst describes local happenings regarding Herr Weber and Paul Weber. He mentions spending Sunday with the youth association, where things did not go so well, since Ernst's "feet got flat." Paul's brother, Martin, on the other hand had spent the youth organization's party comfortably in a hall with floral arrangements. As Ernest writes, he mentions those present including Martin, their mother who is packaging something to send to Pommer, and a Herr Redith is outside drying off. Herr Wudker was there as well. Ernst concludes with greetings from Pommer's family.
