France
June 23, 1918
Dear Mother –
Haven’t received any mail over here except the one you took a chance in sending and a couple that you sent to Camp Upton but expect it very shortly because I guess we are settled down for a while. Our company is on the line at present. We are having a great experience, but Old Kaiser Bill can’t last much longer. Did you write to our company’s “Family Unit” yet? Did you hear any more about the allotments or insurance? We are not allowed to write very much about the war on account of the censuring but will tell you all about it when I get home. We have been through villages that have been shelled or bombed so that it will take years to build up again. The last three or four days it has rained nearly all the while. Most of the churches in France all have chimes and when they play them they certainly sound fine. Some of the boys said that General Pershing put in the paper that we could be home to eat Christmas dinner. I tray and write about two letters a week to you. Do you get all of them? This is all I have to say now. Best regards.
Your son
