 The following letter was received by Mrs. Greene from her husband:
 La-Rochere, France, Feb. g, 1919.
 I did not go out to drill to-day, so thought would drop you few lines to let you know that I am we'll and feeling fine. It has just stopped snow ing and has turned out very cold. The snow is about four inches deep, the most they ever saw in this town have sent to you and mother two emblems of our division, done in bead work We wear the same on the shoulder of our coat. Every division has different emblem. I have not heard from home for a month. I am writing this letter in small room under our billet. We have stove and go out and get our own wood. We just had supper at o'clock, army stew, bread and cocoa too; some class to us. I guess we are going to move towards home pretty soon as we are to have a big inspection tomorrow and all the other divisions belonging to our army corps have started home. We are the last of the 9th army corps in France now, so I guess we will start around March for home. Gee, won't I be glad to get home once more. I suppose the boys are all skating at home. The people over here don't know what skating is. They run around in their wooden shoes and funny hats. I sent my clothes up to be washed to-day. The water is too cold to wash them our selves now It only costs 200 to have a suit of underwear and stockings washed, so we let the French woman do it. There is glass factory in this town and all small children and old people work there. They get two francs a day, You can't buy wood here like we do at home. You have to buy it by the pound. We tried to buy some eggs;- but you can't get one in town. Last Sunday we bought some meat from the butcher and was going to have a good meal, but the meat was so tough you could not bite into it, so we had to throw it away. We are trying to get rid of the famous friend of the soldier. He sticks like a brother. You can bathe and wash your clothes and the next day you find about million, and they bite like the deuce. A cootie is some pest. Uyon ao~,t ~xv~a&o o~~v q. z.
