Letter. Camille Genay to Mildred Veitch., June 10, 1918.
Contents
Camille opens, discouraged by a formidable attack by "the Goths" against the American front. She feels that many people are coming to doubt the Allies' final victory and that unrest is rising in France. The Germans have made significant advance and are coming closer to the city of Paris (80km). Camille discusses the heroism of the soldiers and their courage amidst ongoing gas attacks. There is more talk of taking refuge in basements against the ongoing attacks. Her mother has taken Marie Louise to Bourgogne to stay with friends. She laments on the sleepless nights, the fatigue, and the concern of her mother.
