Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/15/1918). Nothing of importance today. Still waiting for the boys to return from Paris with the new planes which are to be mounted with machine guns. Have been trying to write 5 letters per day in order that I may get caught up with my correspondence. Seems impossible as today I received 8 letters, so what can I do but continue for I sure love letters from home and happiness. “Ok” the yell all lights out and into your dugout. Germans dropping more peace pills and to think its darn cold on the outside.
