Dere Mable
“Dere Mable: I guess you thought I was dead. Youll never know how near you was to right. We got the tents up at last, though, so I got a minit to rite. I guess they choose these camps by mail order. The only place there flat is on the map.”
Ironic and very entertaining look at the Army life by Edward Streeter, who started his career as a reporter for the Buffalo newspaper and attained renown with his “Dere Mable” love letters. The book began as a humorous column from an illiterate soldier writing home, and was published in a book form in 1919.
