My Dear Mother:
I will write a few words today. I am a couple of days behind again, but sometimes I forget myself. I am still in Base 57, and about well, but cannot do any running or climbing yet. I have been in Paris a couple of times in the last week and saw a good many interesting places and things of which I think I can tell more about when I get back than I can on paper. I think the Eiffel Tower is a little higher than any of the trees on Maumelle. My legs got uite weak when looking up at the top. Christmas is not long from now, but I will not ask you to send anything, as I do not think I would get it. All my mail has been lost. Your last letter was dated June 17, but I trust you are all as well as ever. Will say good-bye and when the Kaiser’s scalp is hanging on some Yankee’s belt I will say Hello and eat some rabbit stew at home.
Your son,
Private John S. Glaze
