 Somewhere in France, April G., 1918.
 A few lines from a Stafford boy in France who is trying to do his bit am we'll. ] suppose the weather is warmer there now. It is little warmer here, but the Eainy season is on, as the French people say. We are in mud a good and plenty. We have to shave and wash up in it, but it won't hurt anyone and makes one tougher. You will have to guess where we are as we are not allowed to tell. We sure see 8 lot of sights, towns after towns shot down by the Germans. Nothing but ruins every where. The French sure have gone through more than anyone can guess I will close, wishing all in Stafford the best of luck and send them all my best regards. Anyone who cares to write me I will answer them.
