Dec – 7 1917
Dear Mother
Received your welcome letter today and certainly
was glad to hear from you. I also received
Wm 's
Alice's Aunt Florences letters. You would be
surprised to know that these letters were 1
month and 7 days getting here. Mama I wrote
you yesterday, so you ought to get it before
getting this. It is nice to know every one
is well at home also that Edith is getting
fat. She must have my place at the table
besides she better not talk to much about me
behind my back, ha ha. I didn't know Hugh
Swerengin and Lee Peterson were coming home.

York City. There was a number of boys in our co.
left in the hospital when we left the U.S. one of
them just came in camp yesterday and expect the rest
of them over later. They have just completed our
Y.M.C.A. here. That is where I am writing this
letter tonight. A French Lieut is going to speak
tonight on "life at the front." I guess there is
quite a great deal of talk of when the war will
end, that nobody knows. From what we learn around
here it wont last till spring. Then again if the
Germans have to be drove

for 2 month but when I do get paid it will include
the first allotment. I think from now on you will
get $15 every month. but if it should not come "let
me know". How is Dan old boy feeling these days,
also Florence the handy girl with the dish rag. Is
Bob & Joe still in charge around the house.
Well mama I will close for now with the best of love
Your Son
