Well, I wish I could put my
picture in The Journal, as I
got a haircut this morning with
a razor and you can guess how
I look. They are going to oper
ate on my brain box in the
morning at 10:30 and then I’ll
be ready to come home.
Well I’ve been asked lots of
questions about the French
girls. But—er—well, they are
French, alright. Lots of the
boys got a wifie to bring back,
but I didn’t think there was
! any time to hunt a wife. I was
thinking about hunting Pa and
Ma—and some corned beef to
eat.
I have the privilege of wear

wouldn’t give a civilian suit
for all the stripes on the mar

of the fun.
Well this is all today as I’ve
got to quit and smoke.
