Well this leaves me just about laid

be all right in a couple of days.
guess going or cold chow so long is
the cause of it, and part of the time
we could hardly get cold eats. But
hurrah the war is over, and so what
do We care now.
We were on one side of the Mouse
river and the Dutch on the other
when it stopped and | am afraid it
would have been rather cold If we
would have had to wade the river.
1t rained most every day while we
were at the front, but it hasn't rained
once since the val has stopped.
At eleven O'Clock Of the nth day
we were marching with full pack and
working all night and no breakfast,
when a messenger came running with
orders that there should be no more
firing, and then we noticed there was
not a sound of a gun but once in a
while the explosion Of a mine the Ger
mans had laid along the river. Wei
you can't imagine what a happy
bunch we we're; it was too good to
believe, and no one had much to say
for once, for they didn't know what
to say. But l will always believe
that the Germans tried to use up all
That was an awful tragedy that
happened to Cousin Mildred and II
must have hurt Uncle Edd awfully to
loose one of his dear ones.
There is nothing l know of that you
can send me, we have all kinds of
clothes, and as for money that is the
least of my troubles cor there is not
much of anything that a fellow can
buy here. | will sure be glad when

and potatoes and turkeys. We have
been getting quite a bit of cabbage
and vegetables the Germans have left
behind them. Say | wish couli get
hold of a bunch of those eggs at 40
cents a dozen, they are a dollar over
here and then a fellow can't get them.
Well we are in hopes of being one of
the first divisions to go home and
there is some talk that there will be
four divisions go home before Christ
