France
June 26, 1918
Dear Sister –
Haven’t received a letter from you since I left Camp Upton. Wish you would write often. I received the letter that Mother took a chance on sending to me over here. Did you get the handkerchief I sent to Mother for you? Well, we have been quite busy lately. Our company has been in the line and expect to go again shortly. Before we went in the line, we just finished ten days of travelling. Eight days we hiked and two days and nights we rode the train. We saw quite a bit of France but only saw a couple of large cities. I expect to see Paris and London before I come back. We don’t see as many aeroplanes as we used to. I guess he can’t make them fast enough for the Allies to shoot down. Every time we hear one of our shells go whizzing over our heads we say there goes some iron rations for Jerry. Of course, he sends us some once in a while. Has Albert Oates been home yet? I suppose Ivan still belongs to the Home Guard yet. Does he still sing in the church and work at Warner’s? Hoping this letter will find you and the children feeling fine. I hardly know what to write on account of censoring and not receiving any mail from the States, so will say so long for this time.
I remain your brother
George
