James E. Henschel letter to Mrs. Leopold H. Henschel - August 28, 1917
Transcript
August 28/1917 - Dearest Home-Folks - We are at last in our new home - although by no means comfortable - in spite of the rain, which seems never to stop completely. The poor lads (from 18-40) "over the hill" must be having a nice time of it. Don't think that I would enjoy living in a trench this kind of weather.
Transcript
We are still on repos - and it is beginning to show on the rest of the boys as well as on myself. We are about as sociable I believe as a bunch of starved bears. I have had a "grouch" for the past few days. Hope that we get a call soon - or we will not be fit for one. My love - as always goes with this. Ned.
