March 9, 1919 - George Writes Home on a German Postal Form





































Echternach, Luxembourg,                                                                       Sunday Eve. Mar 9
Dear One’s All:  Just a line tonite to let you know I’m getting along as well as can be expected.  Mr. Kries has made me a crutch so I can get over to the office now regularly.  The Dr. binds it up in iodine every other day and guess will be O.K. in a week or so more.  Hope so anyway as we will probably not be here more than a month more at the most.  This is a German card I am using.  We got quite a bunch of them back of the German lines in the billets they vacated.  So you can see it is a Souvenir De La Guerre.  Daddy, you want to be real careful of yourself when you get a cold.  You know it may be quite awhile till I’m home yet and you want to be in the best state of preservation to stand some good times. 

            Love to you all from “The boy in Luxem”
                                                Geo. Sherwood, 108th Engineers
