Dear parents and brother:
Fall has set in now and it is much
cooler than it has been, ] was out to
French farmers home last night
with one Of our corporals. I had the
first drink of milk since I was at home
on my last pass. I am beginning to
understand the French language and
can speak enough to make myself I'M
derstood.
The people we visited last night are
very nice. They were eating their eve
ming meal all eating out Of one large
dish. They had drawer in their
table where their spoons were kept.
We had some fine grapes there. The
lady of the house gave me a prairie
chicken that her boys had shot. The
corporal and | are going to have it
fried in butter for our dinner
We are located in historic country
that was the seat Of war in the Ro-
man invasion. There are some i'm
mense caves here. I shall visit them
one of these days.
[ suppose you are threshing at home.
One of the boys of our company had
a card from Loretta Sinner saving
they were threshing and Leet's were
doing the work. Henry Buechner is
busy in the kitchen putting up shelves,
I guess we are in our winter quarters
now. Gee, Hank is getting broad
across his back and so are tie rest of
|us.
Well | must get busy with my din
