LETTER FROM FRANCE.
France, Jan. %. 1919
Dear Aunt:

It, IN nOW rSAiNSI.
France, Jan. %, 1919.
Dear Aunt:
Received your welcome letter yes
terday and was glad to get it and the
presents also. l am in town in
southern France; the name of it is
Argent-Le-Rotron; it is between Paris
and Le-Mans. We expect to be sent
home real soon. / hope we do as long
as the war is over. I don't want to
stay any longer than l have to. If
| remember right the last time wrote
to you l was in Belgium. That is
where we were when the armistice
was signed. The number of the divi-
sion l am with is the 91st. There are
quite a few Minnesota boys in it.
There is one from Minneapolis in my
company. l told him I would go to
Minneapolis to see my aunt if there
was any chance. His name is Benson
will do all l can to get to see you
now that everything is all over, and
l came out of it without anything only
a good scare once in a while had
some very close calls. One night in
the battle of Argonne woods. that was
where our division did some of the
hardest fighting that was known
throughout this war, and for the good
showing they made there we were sent
to Belgium, where we also got the Hun
on the run and kept him going. Get
ting back to one of my close calls, it
was the night our division was relieved
in the Argonne. We had our trucks
waiting at a cross-road near a town
and while waiting there other boys,
one was our first sergeant and myself,
slept in my truck, and everything
went fine until about five in the morn
ing. Then shell came over and hit
two feet from the back of the truck,
and it was a dud-that is what we call
shell that does not explode. If it had
would not be here to tell about it;
but, as it was, nothing happened; only
scared us quite a bit. There were a
lot Of my friends killed in that battle
and lots wounded. I had two trucks
fall on the side in a ditch while was
driving. Most of the driving had to
be done at night without lights and
no roads most of the time. You can
imagine the job we had. 1 am glad I
was in on the job and helped to beat
the kaiser. While in Belgium l saw
the real No Mans handwriting but
she'll holes, where there were towns
at one time. The only sign of them
now is piece of board stuck in the
ground with a name on it. Some of
the finest churches all blown to pieces.
My company was away from our divi-
sion for some time and only got with
it a few days ago. Again while away
from it we could not get any mail or
send any, so when I did get it l got a
lot of it. Well, Dear Aunt, hope you
are in the best of health. feel great.
l did not have even cold since came
over here and I feel fine now, but l
would sure like to be back again. 1
will have to say goodbye and if there
is any possible chance of me going to
see you or if l pass through I will do
it. Hoping I may be able to see you
soon, ...
remain, 49,.
