- Scope and content:
This folder contains letters from William Clayton Greene to "Jack and Belle." The letters include information about his time in Belgium, learning French, a brief relationship with a girl named Marcelle, acquiring a taste for Cognac, as well as updates on other friends in the service. He also mentions that it was unpleasent writing to Jack because he knows that they are having similar experiences, and how he is frustrated with the psychic and fatalistic attitudes of some of his fellow servicemen. He mentions that his unit had a selfish delight in chopping up expensive German furniture to burn for warmth. He ends his letter updating Jack on his experiences with two Catholic nuns in Belgium as well as eating dinner with a German speaking Belgian family he describes as an "unbelievable brood of adults and kids."
