Misc.: St. Landry Clarion (Opelousas, LA), Saturday, 25 January 1919: Letters from France - (Private Moise Pitre, with the A. E. F., France, writes as follows to his mother, Mrs. Theogene Pitre, Route 2, Opelousas, La.:) Dear Mother: I will write you a few lines. I am in the hospital, doing fine and feel good. I have been classed and I think I will soon leave this hospital. I don't think I will be back by Christmas. Hope you will have a happy time. I wish I could get a letter from you; have not got a letter since I have been in France. I hope to be coming over soon, but nobody can tell just how soon that time will be. Then I hope I will find everybody happy as usual when I arrive. Has been raining here quite a bit; is cloudy today and a little bit sticky under the feet. I am up now, doing a little ward duty helping the patients and help give them their meals. I am getting plenty to eat, so naturally I am heavier than I used to be. Have a good bed to sleep in and it just seems like home. I would like to know how everything is over there - news or changes of any kind. So far I have read that you had fairly good crops. I will close for this time. Hope everybody is well. Can tell you more when I get home than I can now. I remain, Your son, Pvt. Moise Pitre.
