Don't think for moment that 1 have forgotten all about you. You see, I am so far away from the good old U. $. that we are not to write too many letters on account of the censor. I received the stockings all right and, believe me, they are just the kind to wear in a pair of rubber boots, for the ground is so muddy that we are compelled to wear boots Ikhave been laid up with a cold but got rid of that 8 few weeks ago. Be | lieve me. you can't ina zine how this outdoor life and hard work and good pure air helps to make real man There is only one thing lacking tc l make this life out here perfect, and that is the food. For the past two | weeks all that we were getting was bully beef and hardtack Every day am surprising myself to see what z man am making of myself, and tfa' all due to luck and experience. Believe me will be real made man befos' I this war is over, and somehow don regret coming out here, for I have on thing to say, and that is that we ar the first Americans on active servic
