 Yes mama, it looks funny that the boys who have never been to the front are getting to come home first. 1 can't see why they do that unless they were all equipped and nearer the ports than us, also they were all drill ed up. We were like bunch of rockies when we came out Of the lines and had to be trained again. 1 sure hope can get home in time to help papa this year.
 Well as l have run out of news guess l will close, hoping tbis finds you well and that I may reach there shortly after this letter so good bye with lots of love from your son,

A Letter From France
Requiel France.
 Eob "a 1OJn


 Feb. Is, 1919
 Dear mamma, will answer your letter which l received few days ago; was sure glad to hear from you and to know an of you are well. 1 am still in France and having a good time. It doesn't rain so much where 1 am now, it has been raining little here the last day or so.
 Well mama I said in my last letter 1 would be home by the middle of February but 1 was badly mistaken 1 don't know just when we will start, it won't be long Pm sure for we are pre- pairing to start now. We are go- ing 10 be reviewed by General Pershing and the Prince of Wales, which takes place tomor- row so I guess it will be big day
 You asked me about my sleep ing quarters, eats, etc. l have a fine place to sleep and get plenty to eat and em not drilling much now, just having a few parades and reviews. 1 still go on guard though not very often. We have a good place to guard, we guard the cafes in the towns. We are not out in the cold like we were in the lines.
 I am in the 18th division, probably you have heard about it. It is good division and one of the oldest over here. It is the one that gave the Boche the kick at Chatteau-Tbierry and also at Mihiel. The St Mihiel fight was my first battle, then we went to Verdan where we went against them again and ended the war.

 It's yours just as much as bis; lfyour town is shy of booster,
 You get in the booster biz If things don't seem to suit you
 And the world seems kinder wrong, What's the T alter with boostin Just to help the thing along? Cause if things should stop again, We q be in sorry plight. You just keep the horn blowini Boost h up with all your might If you see some feller tryin
