Handwritten WWI Letter (No. 20) from Pvt. Willis W. Wagener Regarding Christmas Package Regulations

In this WWI letter, Private Willis W. Wagener explains strict wartime regulations limiting Christmas packages from home to a single small parcel routed through Hoboken, New Jersey, and requests a simple safety razor rather than comfort items -- a small but telling detail of a soldier's life at the front.
