Paul Pommer correspondence, 1918-05-27, World War I
Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Postmarked Glogau, May 27, 1918. Pommer urges his family to send him more paper. He gives his greetings, and writes that he will be picking up from what he wrote the day prior. After several days, he has finally slept well. Mood improved, he gives a good opinion on the quality of his hospital. The food is fairly good. The doctor is young and was also on the front lines at one point. But he has almost two-hundred patients alone, so he doesn't see Pommer very often. As a result, the doctor cannot state whether things are going better for Pommer's health. Pommer's injury still has swelling and his fingers still do not move properly. He has trouble handling paper with them. With his arm bound so often, he often feels discouraged about thinking of a future. He puts his trust in God who will help him. He sends his heartfelt Sunday greetings.
