Item Information

Title:
Letter from Frank F. Newth to Letitia Crane
Description:
Nick can imagine the Memorial Day back home in Lynn, but there are no holidays for him. They are hoping to have Sunday off since the Canadians are having a field day, and they will be putting together a baseball team. He asks Letty to tell Bill what to bring when he goes to France including russet shoes, since the army is not issuing them anymore, and blankets. Before Nick came to this office he was issued a complete set of equipment and two uniforms, which was lucky since it is impossible to get any clothes here. There is still a fair amount of bombing, and he lost some of his apparel when they had to evacuate the town.
