 Somewhere in France.
 May 21st, 1918. Dear Mother:-
 I received your most welcome letter, the last one you wrote to Camp Upton, and was pleased to hear from you. We'll I am in good health and getting along good. I am in different place now than l was when last wrote to you from France. It is very hot here and is considerable hotter than the last place we were in, and you don't have to pray for rain. This is sunny France, and you get some lovely bou- quets that burst in the air occasionally to let you know that there is war on. I heard an artillery barrage the other night for about 15 minutes that would raise the bristles off a pigs back. Old Jerry was coming over the top, but he got back faster than he came out. Back in tine states you hear him called Fritz, but the SaTnmies call him Jer- ry, and Jerry is tough cuss, believe 1 me. Not long ago one night 1 was in l place where he was in the air and you. could hear the motors drumming from his aeroplanes, and after being stuck alongside of hedge by the side of the road. lie dropped three bombs and there were three terrific explo- 1 sions. I though the bottom of h. had fallen out. and the anti aircraft guns put up barrage for about five min utes and the air was full of shra pnel and bullets. That's all you could hear
 So they paid visit out to the plains 1 that Sunday night left. but they lost out. We'll I might meet some of the hoys from Norwick over here some where l guess it is probable that Pat Murphy is over here with his outfit l We'll, will close now with love to you and all the rest of the family I re- main ever your loving son,

My Dear Little Sister,
 1 have received several letters from you lately and have not answered. but now 1 have plenty of time. so I will write. I am writing from the trenches Edna and the Bosche are shooting at an American plane, They have been putting a few shells in this town this afternoon, Edna. It is all right to see them land and burst so long as they don't hurt any of our boys. Some days the Bosche shoot their guns a very lit tie and some days they, shoot very often. Today is a pretty active one.
 On such days I often wish was home with my little sister instead of here, but here l am, and I think I must stay until the. durn war is over, Ed&a. Then won't be happy to see my little sister - You tell dad the boys here do farm ing, even if they are soldiers There is an American government farm. Edna, and the boys who are not very well get those jobs, for it is good healthy place to be- Well. Edna, I will close now, and wish you good health and luck. and love to ali the family.
