now. We are having very nice weather
here. II is not very hot, but nice and
sunshiny nearly all of the time. Well,
the Fourth of July has gone by again
and it was pretty quiet here. | suppose
that you must have pictured us as
having plenty of noise and fireworks,
but you see don't happen to be in that
part of France just now.

the old regiment quite often, but don't
know when l will see any of them again.

to work this afternoon. In fact, / stayed

a chance to lie in bed in the morning,

if you are receiving the money that /
allotted. | suppose that it must go
through all right, but as you have never
written anything about it am begin

mistake.
