An April 28, 1918 letter on YMCA "With the Colors" stationery, in which Pvt. Willis W. Wagener tells his family of his new assignment to the Gas and Flame Service in France. He walks a French market town noting shops, cafes, and wartime prices, tries his hand at the language, and finds a young giant sequoia in a park — a homesick echo of California.
