life isn58 Wditli' a aEhickel at times.
 have not seoaiyed- a letter from hOant 1 for some time. I don't know whethei
 they are sick @oEs not., The last lettel
 I received waa dated Feb. 4. hav'
 written four letters since then, hm
 don t now wheth or they ereoei vedf thapl
 or not. There is quite pslitele trOuble
 about getting, our mail. Tue bogl
 complain quite. lotp but o8a couLas fthat does no good 50 we lIav6 to pol
 up with it. I guess read your lettei about fifteen. times, lay it down few
 days and read it again, We'll I suppose tyou are watching the papers closely
 to see what the U. s. boys are doing.
 We sure have played some good tricks on those Germans and we arc going to play some more too before we gei through and don't you forget it. We'll i it is raining here to-day and has been cloudy and drizzly for the past week, but I guess the sun won't forget tJ come out it never has anyway. The people here are planting now, and, be- lieve me, never saw so much land ploughed up. guess they are going to need all they can raise. Gee! I wish I could be back there now for the coming summer, but I suppose things will be pretty quiet on account of so many boys being over here. ! suppose you read how the Germans are stepping aEoupd lately. They have got to step lively when Uncle Sam's boys are on their heels which they yshaye already found-out. I guess they think the old hoy himself has broken loose, for we certainly are bad actors when we, get. started and the more we fight the moro we want to. Some of the boys had, rather fight than eat, so you can just imagine how those Dntchmcn like to see us coming. We are going to keep them so busy that they won't have time to think whether they are Germans or some old engine that has been laid up with locomotor ataxia. We'll, let us hope that war will end soon and we will all be home, and oh, won't we have some time It will take log chain and steam engine ku hold me. I guess some of the boys will be. like a western cyclone, but most anything to get back. We'll, I can't think of. any more to write this time, Probably, you will need a new pair of glasses before you finish reading this. M hope this finds you all in, the best of health. Write as soon as you can for do appreciate them go much and phone over and see if the folks are sick and tell them am waiting for a lettsf Remember me to Frank Marion and all inquiring friends. With love I remain true friend,
