rains great deal and is getting cool
1t is a hard job to keep warm at times
| am staying well and hope to contin-
ue so. We can buy grapes from the
Frenchmen but can't get any candy
About all the Red Cross has here at
the canteen is tobacco. so we can ge,
all we want of that. Well l think
we won't have to stay here long the
way the Kaiser is talking now.
Love and best wishes,
Walter j. Dobbs.
