= AOhAACA III IA
Am dropping you these few lines
with pleasure as / can let you know
that I am in the best of health. Hope
this letter reaches its destination
finding you all in the same condition.
Dear folks, I can't understand why
you don't write oftener. 1 would be
the happiest boy in the world If I
would get more news from home. In
fact, ] am so anxious to get news
from dear old Amboy that even a let
ter from Jim Doyle would be appre-
ciated.
Well mother. am getting along as
good as can be expected and am
somewhere in France. I am sorry I
can't tell you what place of France
/ am but no doubt you read the news
papers. One thing I will say. 1t is
some beautiful country; we are hav
ing some nice days.
/ have met some Amboy fellows. I
have met the owner of the Boston
Confectionery and I gave him q
hearty hand-shake. Have seer NJ.
Cohen, Louis Sosin and many more
from Perth. In fact with all the boys
from home here at that 1 don't mind
being here at all, especially when one
realizes that he is doing his bit for
his country. I was really sorry folks
that you took things to heart; don't
mind my being here as I and tho
Perth Amboy boys will be coming
home soon with flying colors so don't
worry. The hun is getting 1t good
and proper. oh, boy. 1 guess that
man Sherman was right when he said
"War is hell" and believe me 1t is
with the Germans.
We are called Yanks all over. I
certainly would like to know what
the people in Perth think of this war.
They most likely think that 1t won't
last long. Well, the opinion Is Just
the opposite here as we won't be
satisfied until we march through Ber-
lin and according to present indica-
lions we most surely will, although
to dc a good job 1t will take time.
Will write more next time. Sending
my regards to all. Goodnight.

Dear Mother, Father and Sis:
A few lines about myself rs usual
and TO ask how the rest OF the rco-
pie over there in Gods country"
are and hoping hat this letter or
rather note finds all In splendid
health and happiness.
You will see by the writing material
that l am using, that I am now in the
hospital to my own hard luck, but
ing along fine and expect to be
around In the next few days.
This is the second time that I have
been in the hospital in the past six
weeks. / was out the first two weeks
when bang in I come again. having
been gassed the last time. 1t is not
very bad. ! got IL in the eyes the most
a funny feeling al n feels as II
one was on fire all OF the time. It
makes q fellow cough a great deal,
but nevertheless I am coming along
fine.
I am at a fine place. IL is one of
the great summer resorts. Haven't
had a chance to get out much to see
near future.
Well, as I am getting kind of tired
will have to close, hoping you re-
ceive this o. X. and hope to hear
from you all
Love to all.
