France, Nov. "a, 1918
Dear Dad:-I know you can appreci-
ate that it required no such violent
hint as the appeal of the ''Stars and
Stripes" to all the A E. F. to write
to its Dad" on this day, to stir me
to drop you line for I always con-
slider all my letters to Mother for you
too. But this is your letter and if the
rest of the family wish to peep at it
they may ask your consent with all
due humility.
Not that I have a great deal to say
The STARS and Stripes" which as you
probably know is the official A. E. F.
paper, says that it is possible today
to tell most anything for the censor
ship has been lifted for the day This
news is not especially startling for |
have always pushed the elasticity of
the balIy censorship to the last notch
anyway and today | find in resume
that l have just about told everything
| have done or seen already
Today know that it is getting very
cold here in northern France and that
my hands are very cold this minute.
We are garaged today just outside Of
Toul. do not know whether we are
to load at Toul or to go thru to Metz,
which is not very far away. Of course
| am very anxious to see Germany,
| but would much prefer to see it right
now and then scoot south. Most of
the hospitals Of northern France,
American hospitals, have already been
evacuated. We expect, however, to be
with the army of occupation, if any
train is attached to that army and if
this is true we must go thru the winter
Up here.
Perhaps it is only just that we
should go thru some hardship this
winter, for with the exception of the
hard and trying work we have done
with wounded we have not known the
meaning of the word hardship. If
there was ever a lucky individual in
this mans army it has been me, Dad
These trains, as I have written before,
have every comfort in the world. We
get eats that not one out of 100000
ever heard of in France. When we
make trip there are days off coming
back The other day for dinner we
had wonderful roast turkey, baked
potatoes, oysters, dressing, coffee, pie
fruit, etc. That night for supper we
had black bass, French fried potatoes
celery, etc. Ham and eggs for break
fast is no novelty around this place.
Our head cook was a chef at the Hotel
Vanderbilt before the war. | tell you
it is hard.
And then | have spent three months
n Paris, pleasant weeks in Trouville
on the sea, two weeks at Brion-Laizy
in the Burgundy hills And if at any
time you want to learn anything about
the main streets of Vichy, Bordeaux,
Nantes, Savenay, Limoges, Royat,
Barbecue, Nevers, or any one Of a
score of big French towns, your low
ing son is very likely to have a nointer
or two for your edifcation. Then l
have seen the whole of the Chateau
Thierry region, the country around
Scissor, and Verdun and the Argonne.
We worked on these three fronts and
while l will never be able to take my
on my knee and tell them
about how I messed up the Huns
