Dear father and all
Just a few lines in response to your
letter, the first I have had from you
since my stay in France. Well, dad, 1
start to school to-morrow and [ guess 1
will be there until our division starts for
the States. 1 don't think that will be
more than a couple months,
We are doing most anything over here
to put in the time-—some are on fur.
loughs, others are going to school, 1
suppose by the time this letter reaches
you the farmers will be busy in the
fields. You should see the condition of
some of the ground over here over
which I bave gove. 1 have had shells
drop in front of me and tear up so much
ground that a bouse could be set in the
shell hole and would occupy a very small
part of the opening, | have also been
in towns that have been shot to pieces,
the remains just looking like one of Bil-
ly Kern's stone piles.
It bas started to snow again and it is
making a lot of mud,
A runaway team is just mow creating
a8 whole lot of excitement outdoors
among the French people.
It is now seventeen months since [
was called to the colors, and 1 only hope
that it won't be that long again until 1
am discharged. 1 sure would like to see
myself in a suit of blue serge before very
long.
I will close for this time, hoping to
hear from you soon,

March 13, 1919.
Dear mother : .
This 18 a real spring day in old France.
We got a shot in the back again on Mons
day, and it sure did put me on the bum.
I am hoping that this is the last one and
that the next shot will be home across
the sea,
The Frenchmen are at work plowing,
and so on. This evening we will be
paid and I think I will send some home
to “salt down.” It is very hard to save
anything over here. I wanted to get
some souvenirs but the prices on them
are so high that I have changed my
mind,
The latest we have 10ow is that we
will be bere nine weeks yet. That's a
long time to me,
This leaves me in the best of health,
Your son,
CLAUDE.
