From Gus Eggers.

Somewhere in England, Nov II, 1918.
Dear Mother:
thought that 1 would drop YOU q
few lines. 1 suppose you have received
the post cards that 1 sent you We
stopped at the same camp where Mar
tin is located but only stayed there
about thirty hours. / believe 1 was the
happiest man in the whole camp when
located Martin. The barracks in which
we stayed was only about two minutes
walk to Martins barracks. 1t took me
little time to locate him. He was out
at work when found his barracks and
went back again at about 1880 and
waited a while. Pretty soon he came
in, you ought TO have seen how he
jumped and we shook hands for a couple
of minutes. He did not go to work in
the afternoon and we had quite con-
versation. He surely looks fine. If we
would have stayed at that camp a day
longer Mart and 1 would have had our
picture taken. but we moved away from
there too soon. He expects to be home
soon and probably I will be there soon
too. I did not get the full details about
the peace proposition this morning but
I heard the war was over. Our trip
across the ocean was made successfully
and the weather was fine almost all the
way across with the exception of few
days.
They have very odd looking locomo-
tives and cars here. will tell you
more when I get back We may be
leaving here in a few days for some
other camp. Has Clarence or Elmer
been taken into the army yet? Are
they getting any ducks? And how is
my brother Ernest, is he shooting any?
I wish you would give all of the folks
my address and tell them to write and
I will write just as soon as I get time
and am in a permanent camp. / did
not get sick at all coming across.
suppose Bill vogel goes hunting quite
often yet? Have Clarence write to
Iowa and tell the folks that I have ar
rived over here and l will write them
soon Give them my address.
I suppose my guns and automobile
are the same as I left thine. The
boys will look after them I hope. When
we get back home we Will have a big
celebration. Well, don't know of
much more that I could put in this let
ter so I will close. Give my address
to all the folks and give them my re-
CARDS.
