- Letter from Sgt. Louis H. Rusga to Blanche Nutting, undated. He writes that he is the soldier that recieved from kind Christmas gift and hopes she is not too disappointed it did not go to a soldier in the trenches. He mentions that he is a new arrival and is originally from New York City. He writes that he hopes she enjoyes her trip and there is nothing of great interest in the camp besides there is about 40000 men who drill, drill, drill and the land dedicated for training is eight miles wide and ten miles long. He then mentions how the weather has been and how since it is Christmas they had an excellent dinner. He talks about the gifts fellow soldiers recieved from home and how much it means. He mentions how he is writing in the YMCA. The next part of the letter is partially missing and is hard to understand the content. It concludes with thanking her for the pleasure of writing to her and if the pleasure is mutual he would appreciate future correspondence. He wishes her a Happy New Year and many prosperous ones in the future. Letter is dated December 25 but it is unclear if it is from 1917 or 1918.
