Author Biographical Info

Hermann Hospital was a public hospital endowed by George Hermann (1843-1914) with a fortune accumulated through investments in oil and real estate. The hospital opened south of downtown Houston in the summer of 1925. It merged with Memorial Hospital in 1999 to create Memorial Hermann Health System. The original Spanish-style building is now part of Children's Memorial Hermann in the northwest corner of the Medical Center.

Description

Transcription: written to you. She wrote to me and said she was going to write you a letter. That's about all the news I know of about our girls from Hermann way. As for me I'm fine and enjoying my service very much. When I first landed in France we lived in tents for a long time. It was pretty cold then. In fact there was more snow than I'd seen in all my life put together. It really was a beautiful sight to see everything covered with a blanket of white. I've moved lately and no longer live in tents.
