| Summary: | This document is a letter written across a series of two postcards from Paul C. Arnold to Ada Arnold Sides dated May 10, 1919 from Is-sur-Tille, France. The first postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of a lake in Is-sur-Tille with three men in a boat and some buildings in the background with a caption of "IS-sur-TILLE (Côte-d'Or)-Le Lac, près la Gare" at the top and a caption of "L. Bardet, édit. Is-sur-Tille" at the bottom. The second postcard shows a black and white image of a photograph of a chateau in Is-sur-Tille and a pond in front of the chateau showing a reflection of the building with a caption of "IS-sur-TILLE (Côte-d'Or)-Château (Façade)" at the top and a caption of "L. Bardet, édit. Is-sur-Tille" at the bottom. Paul C. Arnold writes that he is ready to come home but expects to be in France a while longer and describes the weather. The White family has ties back to the Arnold family through Stella Arnold White. Arnold family siblings Stella Arnold White, Paul C. Arnold, Claud Arnold, and Ada Arnold Sides stayed in close contact throughout their adult lives. Stella Arnold White married Leonard H. White Sr., an inventor who started the Birmingham Fabricating Company. During the First World War, Paul Arnold served in the military with the American Expeditionary Forces and saw action in France. Leonard H. White Sr. also enlisted during the First World War but was not sent overseas.
