On August 7, 1918, Ella Warn wrote to her brother Ole Berg, who was serving with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Warn wrote from her home in Waskatenau, Canada, a city in central Alberta that was more than 1,200 miles from the Berg family home in Lonsdale. She describes her activities, including attending a cattle demonstration, and a late July frost that ruined their crops.
