Mouse over envelopes for dates and sender information.



Letters from Private Lewis Driscoll of the 1st Recuit Company. Talks of his fiancee Hazel, his sister, his aunts and uncles and other people in Dubuque. Lot contains many photographs of shipped served on and collegues served with. Later contains many censored letters of 72nd Artillary Company, an American Expeditary Force somewhere in France.

Letters are all from the world war one period except the last empty envelope which was mailed in 1945. We see from it that he survived the war, had gotten married and was living but a few yards down the road from his parents address where he belongs.
