Description

Joyce Kilmer ALS on his signed military picture postcard photo

ALS signed 'Joyce,' one page, 3 x 5 postcard bearing a portrait of Kilmer on the other side, May 15, 1918. Letter to Father James. In full, 'I thought you'd like to see how I looked after six months of soldiering. I'm having a lot of fun (I'm a Sergeant in the regimental Intelligence Section now, you remember) but I haven't been to Mass in three weeks! It so happened that I was away from churches (except ruins thereof) and from Fr. Duffy. So you'll have to be praying double hard for your affectionate friend.' Kilmer has also signed his photo on the reverse, 'Joyce Kilmer, 165th Inf. (69th NY) A. E. F., France.' In fine condition, with a bit of light toning. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
