Just Most Anywhere in France
Oct. 26, 1918
Dear Papa and Momma:
Just writing you a few more lines to let you know that I am still on the job and enjoying the best of health and weigh more than ever before. Weare quartered in a small village “somewhere in France.” This is a pretty country over here and lots of people but it is nothing to compare to America. Tell Joeif he is not already in the army I think he would do well to get in the artillery. I am in the heavy field artillery and a year or two of it would not hurt anybody. Everything looks very much in favor of the Allies now. I think old Kaiser Bill will soon beready to quit. I do not know very much to write except about thecountry and I can tell you better about that when I get back.
I have only received one letter since I have been over here.
I will close for this time. Be sure and address your letters very plainly and write soon.
