 Mothers Day, May 12, 1918. My Dear Nom:
 Since General Pershing has. so stren- uously advocated the writing of a mothers letter by each of the Ameri- can boys in Europe. shall try to make this letter strictly to the one who is dearer to me than all the world
 I am writing this just before sunset on one of the most beautiful days that God ever gave to men. Just opposite the room in which I am writing stands an old French convent managed by cloistered nuns. An immense wall sur- rounds the place, but as I am on the third floor of the hospital I can look down on their beautiful gardens Here there are flowers of almost every de- seFiption, and as they are just begin ming to bloom the garden presents a very pretty view Now that I mention flowers, Mother. dear, I am wondering how your plants survived the winter months and what new varieties yeu have added to your already almost complete list.
  past day or two should say that the good old summertime is almost here What a wonderful. old place this will be in a few more weeks. We are To- cated. about sixteen hundred feet in the air and will feel every. little breeze that cares to blow
 We are faring very well over here our mess is very good, and our sleep ing quarters are also quite satisfac- : tory. For the present we are sleeping on the fourth foor of the hospital but later on we shall perhaps pitch our tents outside. This hospital, is from all. reports, soon to be made into q base. If this does happen. then we shall be stationed here for the dura ! ton of the war and all your worries for my safety will be at an end. Just i now. l hope you will excuse me for i writing this in each letter am out , side the danger line,
 NOW. word about Harold Tn vour l last letter you said he was botherins YOU for permission to enter the ser Fce, Indeed I am very glad he has the right spirit. but I advise very strong!y against 1t. He is only is years old. and is the only one left al nome Aeide from that. this wort will have all been inished to every. one's satisfaction before he could eve, play any active part in it. Uncle Sam's great army. of which we are only t1.e, vanguard. can more than takt care of the German horde. wheneveI General Pershirg sees fit to. turn u. loose. So do rot under any circum i stences hermit him to join anything bought a little present for vol this afternoon. shall get it off il another day or two. I am sure yo, will like it. Since arriving in Franc, have been writing you on an avera q four times a week. I hope. you ar "etting most of this mail. Please con tinue to send me the papers. as I en joy reading them very much.

 Mothers Day in France
 May 18th. 1915
 We'll, will write a few lines to let you know I received the box you sent me, and I thank you all very much. l am getting quite few letters now. We are in good place now to get mail. We'll how is everybody? l suppose you are all home tonight; at least, I hope so.
 Well, today is Sunday, and I did not get chance to go to church. I hope will next. Sunday. I suppose you are about through with your spring work. mean housekeeping and like that I wonder if you received my picture I sent you and how many; think I sent you four, if I remember right. Well, we are still in the same place and are doing our bit, believe me. We get out. a lot of trucks in day. I do not see hardly what they do with so many, but they do not last long up at the front. I guess they go over some pretty rough roads, but they certainly have fine roads elsewhere all around through the country They also have very fine bridges, too. I saw one mile long and it was all stone. The houses are all stone or cement even the floors are cement We have very good quarters now.
 We'll. Ma, this is called Mothers day. It is to make every one of us think of our homes.
 The Y. M. c. A. got up a service for us this morning. but I did not get chance to get down there, but I can write to you just the same. The Y. M C. A. are certainly doing great work over here, for they make Us feel at home every time we so there, and | they give US books and readings, too Here is a little piece I picked out of one book which sounded good to me: MOTHER.
 Far, far away, we said goodbye to | her, but she would not be left behind she is with us always. God could not | be everywhere, so he gave us mother. | We had boasted to ourselves that we were men, no longer held by apron 1 strings. and now we find it true, for 1 the strings are become chains and we are proud of our shackles. Who would | have guessed from knowing us that mother sits enthroned in our hearts. 1 But there she is, the one who knows us best, the one who counts upon is most, and by her very expectation makes Us men such as we had not dreamed to be-. God did good thing when he gave us mother.
 Dear Ma, that little piece is a i small one, but there is great heap of truth in it. and, I think everybody over here will agree with me but, | Ma. don't get discouraged; we will be home some day and tell lot and if we do not why we may meet in an- | other world where there is no sorrow | or trouble. So Ma. with these few lines I will say good night.
 Your loving son.
