A wonderful site that shares letters from home and from the front lines can be found at Private Art.
There are some gems at this site.
Art saved every letter he recieved. Some are quite humorous.
"Dear Arthur,
Just a few lines to let you know I received your letter, but I think it will take me a few weeks to get over the shock. I thought you had forgotten how to write, or maybe as you said you were too lazy. But I think you had too many other girls to write to, and of course you didn't think about me..."
and then this one to his mother:
"Mom, I had about $60.00 dollars when I got down here and it's all gone. Send me $30.00 as soon as you can. The P.X. is getting watches in and I want one. They'll be in this weeks so send it right away.
As Always,
Pfc. Art "
