Somewhere in France, Nov 8, 1918
Dearest Mother and Father Since my
last letter we have moved camp but we
are not as near the front, so that ought
to be good news. Sunny France is very
beautiful when the sun shines but it has
shone about five days since landed, so |
haven't seen much that can be called
beautiful. The woods are putting on fall
colors but there is not the variety Of
color that Vermont woods have. ! am
writing this letter after supper My
light is a candle and am in pup tent
Howard Wheeler is my tent mate.
Have you made any plans for Thanks
giving yeti ! probably can't be with you
but as the things are happening in the
different warning nations it ought TO be
over before Christmas.
Hope you are both well and getting
along we'll Haven't had the Spanish flu,
have you? My cold still hangs on but
that is almost TO be expected even though
] am eating quite few onions. Must
close and 90 TO sleep, Remember me to
all. I'll try to write at least once week
and more if can. Clarence.
