My Dear Mrs. Fisher
I write you in answer to my sister’s letter in witch (isc) you wanted to know
how long your son lived after he was hit. Well
I will tell you as much as I can remember from what was told to me.
The company went into a woods near a road leading to Etray and had only
gone about three hundred yards when they stoped (sic) for the night.
And Charles was with Jasper Williams and Sergt Smith and they were in a
little gullie (sic) eating when a shell struck a branch of a tree and the branch
struck Charlie in the back and the two men gave him first aid and stayed with
him until he died. Before he died he said that his feet were cold so they took
of his shoes and rubed (sic) his feet. And
he told them that he was going to die and he died in Jasper William’s arms.
He only lived about four or five hours after he was hit.
This is all that I know about it but if you want to write to Jasper
Williams his address is Corp. Jasper Williams, Company G, 313 Infantry, A.E.F.,
A.P.O. 771 and maybe he can tell you more.
Hoping you will except (sic) my sympathy.
I remain yours truly.
Robert F. Buxenstein
