Paul Pommer correspondence, 1918-07-06, World War I

Description:

Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Postmarked Glogau, July 6, 1918. Pommer thanks his family for their recent letters. He thanks his brother Ernst for his interest in travel, and Martin for the five letters about the local cherries who he bought with a comrade. He thanks them for them the white bread, cake and evening bread. The cake was especially good; he can tell its their mother’s baking. He mentions not having heard from their mother since the 22th, and he had not sent a letter back to her since the 25. He sends a "guten Appetit" as he about to eat and closes his letter describing how he thinks of them when laying in bed at night.
