manage to get a card from Marjorie and a S.E.P. this evening, that helps some.
The weather has been simply awful all day, raining and blowing like the very devil, I suppose I shouldn’t kick, for it has been ideal for the past six weeks, but it isn't very pleasant to realize that winter has set in. Still there's a chance — maybe a slim one, but a chance at that— that we may not have to put in the winter over here. All sorts of rumors have been floating around the last couple of days about the big push up North, but so far no confirmation has been reoeived. In all probability tomorrow's "Daily Wail" will throw some much needdd light on the rumors.
Don't be at all surprised if my next letter bears a different heading. The "whys and wherefore" I can't detail at present for obvious reasons. It may be that I will be unable to send other than field cards for a couple of weeks, but I will write for certain at the earliest possible opportunity.
Am hoping t# hear in your next that my missing parcel has come to hand, I'd hate like the dickens to think that it was lost, for there are several things in it that I prize very highly. Should they not turn up shortly, I'll have to send a tracer from this end.
Mighty pleased to hear that my Paris letters reached you safely. You're right Mother, it did take quite a lot of time to write them, but it was a labor of love, for I know how much you appreciate our letters.
In polite American "slanguage" I ask you to "can that bull" about me being a gifted letter writer. As for having one of my letters published, well I'll think it over. It is a serious business, you know, having other and more critical eyes reading a fellow's letters. You might thank Ben for the compliment anyway but for some little *fcile we'll be too busy wallowing in the mud'to* do any descriptive writing.
Thanks ever so much for the picture enclosed in your last.
Will have to confess that it gave me an awful homesick feeling to see you three sitting on the old familiar steps. Apparently you aren't pleased with the pioture, but I sure eia. And by the way don't forget that you have two kids over here, so in future when sending snaps, make it a double header. "Comprez"?
Goldie dropped into our hut a couple of days ago for a few minutes. Our O.C. is an eye specialist, and Goldie oame down to have his eyes tested. If all goes well he intends taking out a commission in the R.F.C. Seems "keen" on it too. He is the same happy-go-lucky kid as ever,
I think the kid is over at the Y hut listening to a concert. When I saw him after supper he seemed to be in fairly good shape,, so I'll take a chance and say that he is "all to the merry".
