C.S.Stevenson U.S.A. Soldiers Mail Stevenson Place, Olathe, Kansas, U.S.A. censored by MHHarris 1st Lt Engrs U.S.A. Germany - [December 13, 1918] Dear Folks: This is the town where I am now living. It is a nice clean place of about 1200 folks. Electric lights, running water and such are features. The X marks the room where two of we sergeants sleep, including myself. The fat lady standing below greets us every time we come home. It is above a small bakery - pretty soft - they feature animal cakes - so do I. We have a very nice room in which there is a real bed - our first in weeks and weeks. We will probably be here several weeks. Be sure to keep this. Love, Charlie
