Dear Mother: ..r.-s,
| believe that you think 1 surely see
all Of France for everytime the letter
comes from different place. They got
me back from Etain today SO that they
have me handy to help them play ball
We are going to Metz to play some of
these days and think that's good way
to see the country. There seems to
be no chance of going home so we have
to satisfy ourselves the way it is. You
see we lost all hope Of getting back as
soon as we expected.
1--WE have good chances now of being
sent to Germany but I hope they send
us home. We see troops coming thru
every day, going home, and we still have
to stay. Didn't receive any mail for
quite a while but we know that they
moved our postofice so everything is
mixed up again.
Il had a. nice place over in Etain and
would have liked to. stay there as
long as I can't start for home. These
buildings here were once used by Ger
many's military men training and there
is wall around it and it seems as if a
person is in prison. We can get out if
we try so it isn't quite as bad.
II am still looking for the box Adelheid
sent me and hope will get it soon You
know the small knife you had at home.
[ had that with me all the time, lost it
three times and always found it again
but today by moving I lost it and
am wishing that I will find it again for
I would like to bring it back home with
me.
News is always the same. [ wish
i could return home soon but things
look the other way. They don't seem
very anxious to send us back so all that
is left is to wait. It's just as hard for
me to wait as it is Tor you so we will have
to be content this way and just wait.
Hope this letter finds you all in good
health and when get to Metz | will
write you another letter ~-- ....- .a I've
Best regards to all, ''Husky."

1928 Inf, A. E. F., sent the following
letter recently to his brother who resides
in Milford township
Dear Brother: ..... =.
Il received your letter of March goth.
last Thursday and was glad to hear from
you. l also got the newspaper again
and found lots of news in it.
The trouble is that | get one and then
about four are missing. I don't know
what becomes Of them. About two
weeks ago I got some letters that were
written in November and another fellow
got registered letter that was written
in October.
We'll, | guess you would all like to
know when | am coming home but that
is hard to tell. Just now am on three
days pass in Paris and am having a good
time. Today I was to the Versailles
palace and went thru it. It is sure
worth while seeing. Frank Fisch pro-
badly can tell you something about it.
It knew the place where he used to stay
or the names Of his friends could 60 to
see them but best Of all I would like to
see him as he would show me some of
the places he knew.
The T., NJ. G.. A. men go out with
US all the interesting places and tell US
all about them. l know nothing sure
about coming home. Several weeks
ago they told us that we were to sail
