Christmas Day, 1918.
Dear Cousins and Aunt Lucy:
Received my Xmas box yesterday
evening which of course ! opened as
soon as l could cut the string. Could
not wait until this morning as !
should have done. Guess / have too
large a curiosity bump.
Before 20 any farther ! want to
thank you for the pencil which you
will not am using to write this with
Il certainly is q dandy and lppre'
ciate 1t very much. Guess yOu know
what else was in the box without me
telling you.
I have been looking for 4 letter
from some of you for quite q while
haven't heard from any Of you FOL
over two months now. Guess YOU
letters must have gone to the bottom
Of the ocean?
Guess you noticed the heading o.
this letter that am in Germany. WI
started toward the Rhine the next do!
after the armistice was signed. Game
through q small part Of Belgium, tn
part that hasn't been shot up any. i
sure is a pretty country and tn
towns, even the small ones Of three o.
four hundred have electric lights
water works, and sewers. Something
our small towns over there don't have
We were only in Belgium q fev
days, then we came into Luxembourg
which is about the same as Belgium
We came into Germany the third o
December, crossed the "sure" river q
Echternach, the river divides the tw'
countries. My company was the mrs
of the 15lst to come into Germany
This village we are billeted in is abOu
half way between Cologne and Cob
lenze, about eight kilometers( fiv
miles) from the Rhine. Haven't bee
up to see the river yet but am gOinI
Sunday if possible. This sure is
pretty country; this part is awfull'
mUintanQus or hills as we call then
| in the sthtes. About all they rails
around here is grapes; all the nil
sides are covered with grape vines
Guess the people live on wine an
bread same as they do in France.
Well, 1 hope that by the time yOl
get this I will be started home. Don
have the least idea when we will star
though. Lots of rumors AoatinI
around the latest is that we are +

Economy and pep"
Made from a formula that uses iron
in most digestible form, pepsin and
gentian. great stomach tonics, nuX and
celery, the best vegetable remedies for

The larger size of Peptiron contains
