Transcribed by James Horn Sunday Feby 2 1919 My Dearest Bess: News is rather scarce here this morning as I have only been from my bed down to the head quarters of the Red Cross and are sitting there with my over coat on at present. The sun is shinning on me though and I have hopes of getting warm before long. I stopped on the way down and had a crust of bread and a cup of dirty water in which I was entitled to the privilege of paying 3 Kroneu. The Austrians on leaving this place simply skinned the town of everything they could carry away so that there is no furniture or bedding or clothes left I think that it is absolutely necessary to do something for these people to prevent them from dying by the wholesale. The Red Cross is distributing many things
