Dear Soldier, Latest News from New York, Oct. 30, 1917
![Dear Soldier, Latest News from New York, Oct. 30, 1917 Dear Soldier, Latest News from New York, Oct. 30, 1917](https://cdn.ipernity.com/139/17/29/28781729.34287300.640.jpg?r2)

Correspondence from "Marion" to "Charles" that 's constructed using words and illustrations cut out from one or more New York City newspapers in the manner of a stereotypical ransom letter.
Charles was evidently a soldier in 1917 as World War I raged in Europe, and there are references to "the captain," "pass time," the Quartermaster Corps, and Madison Barracks that may provide clues to where he was stationed (300 miles away at Madison Barracks in Sackets Harbor, N.Y., perhaps?).
The letter also mentions popular entertainments of the time--Ward's Jazz Band performing at dances, silent film actress Theda Bara appearing in Cleopatra at the Lyric Theatre on 42nd Street, and music playing on the Victrola.

Dear Soldier,
Latest news from New York. Friends and fellow citizens, hear us. Special gossip of a day. Prepare now. Advice free. Every time is pass time--nit. And the captain answered, this way out! The land of joy.
Dance awhile, no charge for dancing. Splendid dance floor, Ward's Jazz Band, windows and light on all sides.
Business before pleasure. See mummies come to life again when they see Theda Bara in Cleopatra, the William Fox production, Lyric Theatre, 42d St., W. of B'way . . . .
Charles, now is the high cost of living so save rice. Don't marry. Oh, boy, take me to motion pictures at Madison Barracks and have lively music on Victrola.
Have you fancy groceries and table luxuries at the Quartermaster Corps kamp? The very idea! We specialize in all kinds of sea food. I have a nice can of jam for you, big friend.
Yours very truly,
Marion
