These are scans of letters that were retyped from
originals, the letters are from A. M. Baker of Co. F. 14th Regiment, Iowa Volunteers.

My ansestor Karl Pleissner bought the newspaper on 1917 or 1918 and kept a lot of old documents. Since these letters were in among the "Records of Soldiers" I suspect it maybe was a newspaper thing, rather than family history. The newspaper was Fallon County Times in Baker Montana. We also have some "Records of Soldiers" from WWI from the newspaper.
If it helps, I found this online: "The first newspaper was printed in Plevna and called "The Plevna Herald." Then in Baker a paper called "The Fallonite" was printed. Later the "Baker Sentinel" was edited by George Bergi. At one time Mrs. McLemore was editor of the Sentinel. About 1916 Karl Pleissner came to Baker and in 1917 or 1918 he purchased and merged these papers and called the new paper "The Fallon County Times," with the slogan "The paper the people take home."
