Description:
Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer, addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Letter is dated January 14, 1918. Pommer writes about the food in the region, specifically the apples and pears, and how much they cost and why. He also writes about the lack of butter that is available to soldiers and asks about the costs back home in Germany. Then he illustrates issues that have arisen in sending and receiving packages from home. The average time is usually three to five weeks. He then writes about people from home who have written to him and what they wrote. Pommer also notes how he has no access to a newspaper and is unaware of what is going on in the world. description Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer, addressed to the family of Gust.
