U.S. Soldier's Letter to His Sister, written during WWI

France, 1918. Letter. Very near Fine. Letter. Single sheet. 21.5 x 13.75 cm. Dated Oct. 17 of 1918, written on American Red Cross stationary with the header "On Active Service with the American Expeditionary Force". With the original envelope, bearing the stamp from the Censor's office. Letter is addressed to Miss Mary Voss of Chicago Illinois. At the top of the letter the author has written "Somewhere in France". In his letter, Voss tells his sister Mary that he is far from the front at the moment and is taking a rest from combat. He asks her to write more often. Voss also asks Mary to entertain his "lady friend" if she should stop by. Voss then requests that Mary let him know if his love interest stops by or not. The spelling errors, Voss' request for more letters from his sister, and his concern for his sweetheart make the letter a charming record of life for soldiers outside of combat during the Great War.
