Letters
Written from France Before Peace Came Predict an Early Victory
Under date of
November 6, Edward C. Lammers, who is in France, wrote a letter to the Standard
in which he says, “peace is near.” Following is the letter:
“I had a
remittance of $1.50 sent you yesterday for subscription. This may be short of
paying for a year, but I’ll be back in time to make up the deficit.
There are four
of us Fairfax lads in this camp, so we let the paper go from one to another.
The news looks good even if it is a month old.
You ought to
see the papers here; only two pages, and most of that is advertising. They are
generally two days behind time, however they tell us the peace is near.
Wishing for a
sudden finish.
I am, Very
truly yours, Ed. C. Lammers”
