Dear Sis:
Your letter, dated June %, came
several days ago. Would have writ
ten you sooner, but have been dread
fully busy. We just returned y~ester-
day from a fourteen-mile hike to the
trenches, and, believe me, last night l
sure was all in.
had my first experience yesterday
with my new rolling kitchen, and /
think shall like it fine. We can pre-
pare a meal while travelling, which
makes it very convenient for the work
over here. You see, when the boys
march all day, the first thing they
think of when they stop is something
to eat. ! may not have a chance to
write you again for some time, be-
cause we are leaving this place in the
next few days, and the Lord only
knows where we're going.
From the way our troops are driv-
ing the Germans back, it looks as
though ! may not have to be here so
very much longer. Guess though III
hardly be home by Christmas; but if
! am, be sure and have a good dinner
waiting for me.
sure had great luck today. Got
five Mexico Ledgers in one mail. So
was quite busy for the next hour read
ing them. | read everything, ever the
Advertisements. When the Audrain
boys in the company found out that |
had them, they almost drove me crazy
wanting to know II they could read
them next. | put them on a shelf IN
the mess hall, and told them to help
themselves. So think by this time
they have all finished reading them.
eB sure and thank Mitchell for send
ing them, and tell him I never saw the
Ledger SO much appreciated in all nv
life. Wait just a minute, Sister; here
comes n Of our boys with some mail.
Maybe III get another letter.
Well, here I am again, and sure
enough ! got a letter. It's the one
you wrote June 25th. And listen, don't
you let anybody tell a thing about only
writing two-page letters; because
there's nothing to it. The length OF
the letter doesn't affect its coming
through a bit. WE are not supposed
though to write more than two; but
you notice ] disobey that order.
Wish ] could have been with o TO
celebrate the Fourth. We had a holt
day here, and assure you that means
heaps TO the boys in the Army.
Well, Sis, it's getting late, so guess
10 better stop for this time. Will
write you again next week. .
