 Somewhere in France
 Sept A, 1918. My dear Mother: Just a few words before going to bed to cheer you up. and let you know I am well and happy. Yesterday I passed all over the ground in a car with some off reTs that has recently been captured by the Americans. It seemed funny to pass the spot where I got wounded three months before and where spent three long dreary months in the trenches. 1 have also seen several guns that were captured and many rods of ammunition. The fields are hell-shattered and trees shell scared. But nevertheless it seems good to have Fritz pushed back that far must close for tonight and may c od bless and care for you ali. Love 10 all the family. I am your loving son,
 JOHNNIE KENDALL.
 Sept, r, 1918.
 My dear Mother: I suppose you think something sure has happened to me because I haven't written for so long q tune. have been so busy I didn't hay, much time -to write Tonight I was talking to d French Mademoiselle and she has been a | prisoner of the Germans until this last American offensive and she was i telling me al 1tcIIt how the boche officers trea:ed Ter wicked but that the soldiers were good to them. She said they were not well fei nor clothed. And during the four years they were held in this certain vil- lage they were not allowed out at ali. And she said she and all the civilians were mighty haprE when they saw the Americans coming an1 the bo.hes running as fast as they could. The l civilians kissed the American boys ard were sure very happy to be set free They went under a lot to bear the terrible bombal dment tEe Ameri- cans and French sent over. but not a single civilian was killed. The boche never gave them gas masks and it was lucky for them the Americans didn't use gas for none of them hat masks, The Americans at once is sued masks to them and only shoTt time after the hoche sent gas into the town. Now the civilians arc rest ing happily on our side and are surt mighty happy. Well, ma, I uILsr clos, and God bless you all, and I hop; you are all in good health as l am.
 Your loving son,
 JOHNNIE KENDALL.
