Sam C. Lassiter Leaves Hospital
The Frost Star
Vol 28 No 39.  Jan 12, 1919   James E. Kelly, Publisher

Leaves Hospital
Hotel Illes d'or
Hyers, France
Dec 10,1918
Dear Father, Mother and Sisters
A few words to let you know that I am all o.k.  I am not in a hospital any more.
 I am down in southern France on the Mediterranean Sea at Hyers in hotel. Its
the Hotel Grand I'lles d'Or, a swell place--just like sunny Panama, only not
quit so warm.  I don't know just when I will be sent home. I am well now and
ready for the transport when it comes.  I have enough of France already.  I have
only been over here seven months but have seen enough of the War.  I have been
under the greatest hardships I have ever been--under Fritz's shell fire, gas,
sleeping on the ground and in water when we had a chance to sleep.  We ran Fritz
so fast we didn't have time to eat or sleep. It took all of our time to keep up
with them, but now it is over and I am ready to go back to America. I have
gotten enough of Europe. An American has to learn too many d___ languages over
here to get along with the people.
Sergt Sam C. Lassiter
Sergt Lassiter is a song of W.J. Lassiter, who lives on the S.B. Bromley farm.
He was wounded some months ago.
