GIBED FOR MEN WHO KILLED ROOSEVELT
CLARE ROBBINS OF MOSCOW,
HELPED DRESS WOUNDED OF
GERMAN "CE"
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Robbins of Moscow, who had three sons with the fighting forces in Europe, have received a letter from their son, Clare, who was with the medical department and is now with the army of occupation at Coblenz, Germany, in which he tells of assisting in caring for the German aviator who brought down and killed Quentin Roosevelt, son of the ex-president. He speaks of this in a modest way as a postscript to big interesting letter.
The other two sons, William L and Don, have returned to the United States. The former is now in New York and the latter is in Denver and is expected home soon. Clare's letters to his mother and sister follow:
Coblenz, Germany, Dec. 25, 1918.
Dear Mother: Just a few lines as this is Christmas afternoon and I have a few hours leisure. I hope you all had a happy Christmas. We did not have such a happy one as only being here a few days. I guess it could not be arranged. The Red Cross gave a pretty nice entertainment, some candy and cigarettes. They had a German orchestra which was swell. They sure have swell music over here. We are allowed to go down town every evening between 5:30 and 10. I have been down three or four times. It's a pretty place. There are lots of things to buy, most anything you would want. I don't know what I am going to buy you all. As for fancy  Work the nice stuff cost quite a lot.
