Paul Pommer correspondence, 1918-06-18, World War I
Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Postmarked Glogau, June 18, 1918. Pommer states that the night prior he received the birthday packages, which was a great surprise. He had not seen such a celebration since Christmas. He heartily thanks his family. He also enjoyed the photographs his family sent. His comrades said the children are cute and his mother looks sweet. His wound is healing and he expects to be transferred to a new part of the hospital soon which has machines and electricity. On Sunday it started raining so he has had to stay inside. He hopes that next weekend, when it is done raining, he will visit to a nearby fort. On the day he is writing, it is still cool and rainy.
