Dearest Mother
II am having fine time in this old
Sunny France. I would have written
earlier but we have been aWfully
busy. -. so have little time
to- myself.
1--WE had very nice journey
through France to our destination and
everything was fine. The people here
treat US great They look upon us
as saviours of their country.
THE only thing I miss is Ameri-
can cigarettes, so you tell Jack II he
has any spare change to send me some
cigarettes. Also send some maya
zines if you get the chance, because
reading matter is very scarce.
but after we get settled we will be
ali right. Don't you worry bit about
me because there is no danger. I
hope to get a chance to see more of
France before I return, and I GER
tainly will if any furloughs are given
out after the war.
Write often if you can and tell
Charley to drop a line once in a
while. I will write him some time In
the near future and you tell him to
be sure and answer.
well, I\guess have said all I can
for the time being, so I will bid you
goodbye. Give my love to all and
tell them I am we'll and happy.
You loving son.
