 Somewhere in France,
 Oct. ', 1918. | My dear Mother: Just a line. to let l you know I am getting along fine and ] am in the best of health and spirits, ] although l am in a base hospital 1 slightly wounded. They got me In the l legs and hand with shrapnef. but it | isn't bad. It won't be long before am 1 walking around once more. I was hit l Sunday morning about 3 o'clock, Sept. l 29. While I was in a hospital up near l tie front. the dirty Germans shelled | it. You cant tell what they are going ! to do next. There is nothing too low 1 | down mean to expect from them. But 1 there is one thing sure they are going to get a. mighty good trimming and they deserve it. They have the nerve 1 to wear a belt with the inscription | God is with Us" on the buckle and 1 yet they are the yellowest towards l imaginable. They will shoot at you as long as they are under cover but 1 when you get up to them where it | would be man to man they throw up their hands and yell Ksmerad. It is no use for us to carry a bayoret for we can't run fast enough 10 get near enough to a Jerry to use it.. It won't be long now before | will be home, for last nights paper looks as If they were about ready to call l quits. If they don't quit soon there won't be a German left, for the boys l are sure going after them. I got a. letter from Joe AIonahan and two from Josie the night went into the trench es the last time. Joe told me his mother had gone into training to make | the best strawberry pie that ever was 1 for me when I come home. That will | be nice. I would like to have my ! mother have lots Of home made mo- | lasses cookies for me. You know the | kind you used to make when I was a | kid. And I get awful lonesome for | some jello and whipped cream. Here 1 in the hospital we get real oatmeal every morning and there is plenty of l sugar on it, too. Maybe I don't eat
 mine! Everything here is fine. the doctors, the nurses, the beds and t1e food. You don't know how funny it l felt to be in bed for the first time | Well, mother mine. I'll close now with ] lore and best wishes to you all 1 Your loving son,
