Stenay. France. Nov. 24. 1918. Dear Mother;
 As today is Fathers Day" I will write you and hope this finds you all Xell. This leaves me o K. a ~
 As Asahecensorship is not quite so strict as it was we are now free to write what we have been doing. We landed in England July End and paraded Liverpool July 4th, and started for France July 5th where we took first place Aug. 22nd and started our drve Syor. I guess you read of the St. Mihiel drive. We left that front about Aug. 9th and went to the Verdun or the Ar gonne front Oct. 18th and was still driving Nov. 11th at H.: o'clock when the armistice was signed
 Stenay is town we had just captured when the armistice was signed. It is not far from the Rhine and l guess by the time you see thls we will be some where in Germany"
 There are nine divisions of us called the Army of Occupation" troops that will go through Ger many. So you can see that most of the time we have spent in France was on the front. Seems like l have been all over France and have seen most of it but have never been to Paris or any good towns. About all the town 1 have seen are all shot down. You seldom see a farm house over here. All little villages and al buildings are of stone. l have seen good sized towns and not a whole wall left standing. We have all seen things and had ex- periences that We would not take anything for. but we are ready

 Dear Father:-Your letter read a short time ago.

You asked me to write and tell you more about my wound, and if l thought l would be crippled. l got two wounds in the foot. One of them has healed up. My foot will be as good as ever in two or three montbs. A Hun hit me with a grenade @ we went over the top on the Verdun front.
 You said you supposed I would be coming home pretty soon. l can't say for sure about that. but l hope so. France is . nice country. but America for me the best nation in the world

 T.e brother-in-law hunched his shoulders and looked dubious. "See here, Robert,'' he said. I'm going to be plain with you. I've brought half a dozen customers here who want to build. and lost all of them. The loca- tion isn't so bad; it's direct street and the widest in town, but the minute they see those rickety sheds facing the street. and the house here, lopsided, paint all fiaked of and the lot Uttered up with old, wagon wheels and other rubbish. they shake their heads. You're behind the timest-werse than that. you delight in playing the 'don't-care old hayseed, who doesn't appeal to an ,sN- to-date neighbor. I should think, with Mary. the thrifty Mary, always neat as pin and living In this old wreck when she could grace palace. you would turn over new leaf. By the way, the good time to start 1t will soon be here-January 1. Think it over. It means happiness for Mary, who de- serves 1t, and profit for you, who have let the golden chances slip by unheed- cd all these years"
