During World War I, Roberts served in Company B of the 167th U.S. Infantry Regiment. In the letter, written "somewhere in France," he discusses the weather and camp activities, and he asks for more letters from the people at home: "Oh! Why don't you all write sometimes or is it that you think we hear from you often enough. Probably you don't know the value of a letter to us . . . no one knows except the fellow who has been thousands of miles from his mother and loved ones." |
