Letter published in the Jan 15, 1919 REPUBLICAN JOURNAL

November 13, 1918

Dear Sister -- I will drop you a few lines and hope to hear the same
from you all. Well, Eva, the war is just about finished and I am glad of
it, but we are still on the front line but there is no firing goin on any
more. They ceased firing the eleventh month, the eleventh day and the
eleventh hour. I can say that I heard the last gun-fire on the front. I
was so I wasn't afraid any more. I be sure, that if I ever get back, I
will be glad. So I don't care how soon they send me back I know it will
be the happiest trip I ever had in my life. So you know that the boys
are all happy.  

Well, Eva, the weather is fine, it is a little frosty in the mornings but
that don't hurt as much as the machine gun bullets. I can't say any
thing more now. I have seen all I care to see. I can tell you more when
a get back, which I think will be before so awful long.

Well, Eva, I haven't got the home paper yet. I got some from Julius
EHLERMANN the other day, it was an old paper but I was lots of home new.
So I am scarce of news and paper also. Answer soon. By by. Hope to see
you soon.

Your brother,

Corp. George V. SALING
Co. E, 126 Inft. A.P.O. No. 734
