After so long a time will
write you all to let you know
how I am getting along. I re
ceived a shell and gas shock
Monday, the 16th, though not
a bad one. Was in afight and
saw some of my dear friends
killed. Was here amonth be
fore I saw the front line, but
think I have already seen
enough for my good.
Am in a hospital now and
getting along fine as I can sit
up some and walk around.
Mother, I can now realize what
dear father went through in
the other war.
O! France is sure apretty
country, ’though I can’t say I
like here so well. Guess you
