LETTER FROM ERDEN,
GERMANY.
January 10, 1919.
Mr, Alfred Hingst, Shiner.
Dear Brother ; —
I received a letter from you
yesterday and was ver.y glad to
hear from you. I don’t see what
in the world could have been tin-
matter because you don't boar
from mo. Of course I waited
pretty iorg sometimes before I
wrote to you. We can seal our
elters now as we write the n. s -
I can tell you now, we couldn’t
write all the letters we wanted
to write. It' we wouid get to a
place and stay a few days, they
would tell us we could write one
or two letters. If I would write
to uncle Ed. and Norma one time,
I would write to you and a girl
the next time: you all would have
to wait your turn. But I am sure
I wrote a number of letters to
you all, which you didn’t get, for
they all are complaining of not
hearing fr©m me. I sure do hope
you have several letters from me
by this time. If you write every
week, I am sure I didn’t get all
of yours either. This last letter
I got from you was wrote on the
7th of December.
Today was your 21st birthday
and Buddie is wishing you the
best kind of luck and many more
happy birthdays, And did you
think about it ?—our dear father
is dead fourteen years today.
Last night we marched over to
another town, which is 5 kilome-
ters, or 3 miles from here, to a
Vaudeville, It was nothing but
“rookies” in it, but it sure was
fine. They picked out some of
the best boys for that purpose,
members of the 360th Infantry;
it was a pretty good play, even
though there were no girls in. it.
Coming back from there we rode
on the train. All day long we
drill to beat hell. We are haying
nice weather this week, it is not
very cold, only a very light frost
at night. You was wishing that
I would come back to the States
pretty soon; I wish so myself; I
would like to get out of this war,
and.go.to vwork again.—I mean in
civil life. I have had a hell of a
time when we went “over the
top”. I was “first gunner” all
-
the time and therefore had a big
load; the trypod weighs 50 lbs.
besides our packs. I ruptured
myself at it too; I carried the
damn thing two days and one
night, with a million machine gun
bullets whistling by, and no tel-
ling bow many shrapnell; it’s on-
ly a miracle that I escaped. On
the morning we should have gone,
over the top for the fifth time,
after hiking 17 hours the day be-
fore, and as we were ready to go,
they changed the order, and I
sure was glad.
Best regards to all,
Private Arthur Hingst,
360th Infantry, Machine Gun Oo.

Please take special notice of above,
as we do not wish to go to the expense
trouble of publishing this every quar-
ter.
In connection with above I beg to
call your attention to a section of our
by-laws, which reads that ‘ in the event
anyone wishes a house appraised,'he
must notify the secretary or one of the
appraisers at least two weeks previ-
ous to meeting”, as our appraisers
are paid by the day, and the company
cannot afford to have an appraiser
make his trip more than once over the
same territory.
Very respectfully yours

moved his household effects from
our city to the home of his broth-

Boundary Line section, two miles
south of Shiner where he will
farm this year. His four children
are also living in that section, two
