My Dear Mother:-
You may think that I am not maintaining my average as to letter writing,
but I am doing the very best I can under the conditions. There is not much
to add to my former letters except that I am still in excellent health and
eating all can get from Uncle Sam and find other place. It is raining and
chilly today and I am writing you from a table in a small cottage. How are
things going at home? These rainy days are the only real chance we have to
think of home. I was taking a nap this P. M. and dreamt I was sitting on
the steps in the kitchen talking to you and Grace. I could see the steak
frying and the cabinet was heaped with good things. The awakening was
rather rude. If I can keep this appetite I'll surely be able to finish the
food when I come back. I always was fairly good at it. This war game would
be all right if you were packing the dinner pail. I'm getting over a good
bit of the country round here and it is more beautiful than any I have
ever seen. I suppose Ben likes it alright down in Virginia. I haven't
heard from any of you in a month now, and a letter surely would help a
great deal. By this time you are enjoying good spring weather, I guess.
How are Aunt Lib and Annie?
[illegible, 2 initials] should have things
pretty much to himself these days. I could fill these pages if I was
permitted to write all I see, but we are not, and then not hearing from
home, I don't know anything to ask about the folks there. I hope you are
all in the very best health and enjoying yourself. Did J. D. Hill ever get
well? I hope he is flying again by this time. You can give Mrs. Hill my
best regards when you see her. Hump is here now and still in good health.
You never said whether you got my insurance policy or not. And dear old
Dad, how is he? Hope he can always keep the boys on the jump. Mrs. Williard still keeping you company, I guess. I bet the letters fly back
and forth between her and Ben. Has Florence gone to be with Albert yet?
You can tell Florence L. that this letter is for her also, since I
couldn't write her one any different due to restrictions. Well, here's
hoping you all stay well and we can see each other soon as things are
settled here. Love to all from
