Dear Fred
/ have been intending to write you
for quite while but haven't haC
much chance as / was moved over
here lots faster than ever thought
would.
We are in France and about SO miles
from the front and by the time you
get this expect we won't be very far
from the trenches.
We are having quite lot of wet
weather, which is quite a change
from the climate in South Dakota
| got home for day on our way out
here and saw my people. 1t was a
hurried visit, but l surely was glad
to get even that much at home, we
have to be thankful for small nercies
these days.
We see aroplanes moving around
here quite often and all tie rest of
the sights which go along with war.
A fellow can't realize all that is going
on, and it seems like dream to me
me and not very pleasant one either
How is everyone down in old Mel
lette County? Remember me to them
all. i haven't had letter from there
in weeks. The last one was from
Homer Wilson but I think there are
some on the way.
We have been in this camp three
days. It Is in small town. A fell
low can get wine here, All he wants,
and 1t Is strong STUFF too, but 1T hasn't
Mrs. HIS. beat any. We will get drill
ed pretty hard now, especially us new
men who haven't had much training.
Do you hear from any of the rest of
the boys?
Tell Happy Hollow hello for me, if
| never get to live in worse country
than there, l will never grumble.
They are sure good bunch Of people
in Meliette colDSg,
They have good crops here. lots of
old men and women working in the
fields. They haven't many horses.
A bottle of wine costs so cents-sour
wine-a fellow can't drink a whole
bottle, l can't anyway.
kigdsst regards to all. Good bye
Fred for now. Your friend
