SGT. CECIL BRITTON WRITES FROM FRANCE
Camp de Meucon, A. E. F.
Aug. 23, 1918
Dear Aunt:
I am well and getting along fine. At present I am working in the office of Camp Hospital No. 31. But do not think I will be here very long, so when you write do not change my address.
When you are through with "The Doddridge County Republican," please mail it to me.
We are having some real nice weather. The days are very warm, but the nights are cool.
I will close with best wishes.
From,
Cecil Britton.
Sgt. Britton's address is 305 T. M. Battery, American E. F., via New York.
