 My Dear Friend: No doubt by this time you have read in the papers, about our wonderful drive on the Huns. We stopped them ffom di- rect route drive to Paris, and also drove them back four miles Our losses were very heavy, but the men went in with wonderful spirit The medical unit was kept continuously on the field for seventeen days. caring for the wounded and evacuating them to the base hospital; we were also highly complimented by the staff for our quick bravery and first aid to the wounded. All of my men are navy hospital corpsmen, and every one of them is well trained men: but I was sorry to hear that six of my men were wounded. They are resting comfort ably in the hospital.
 General Sherman said "War is - , (you can guess that word) but our opinion is, it IS worse than that. We are resting a few days and will return l in the lines again, and we will give them some more hot fire. Would like to write more about this battle, but ewing to censorship rules we are for bidden to do so. Please let me thank you again for the box of sweets which I shared, part of them with the wounded as they came through our first aid station.
 Will close my note now and wishing you the, seasons greetings and best wishes. I remain,
