Among the other things I bought, is a big pillow case for you and the others as the slips between indicate. I hope Claire, Kit and Madge will like the little gift: they aren’t much but I didn’t want to forget them. I am sending a pack- | age to Mary in which there is a big woolen scarf for Grandfather Grace to keep him warm up at that cold | corner, “back o' the hill.” She will | bring it over to you and vou give it | to him for me. I got some dandy aprons for Mary and I'll probably send some to Madge, Claire and Kit, if I can get where I can buy them. | I hope you will like them, Ma. I am | going to take out an insurance on myself and this and two Liberty bonds | are for vou. This will about break me, Ma, but believe me I am willing to go broke for you because 1 know | how many times you went the limit | for me. Gee, Ma, it's funny how a | fellow begins to realize things over here, and I'm just about wise now to what that saying “Your mother vour best friend after all,” really means, and I wish you could know how much I love you, Mother Ma- | chree, and how much it means to me | to have these gifts please you. I'm broke except for a few francs, and | T'm happy. Well, Mother, dear this | Iine is being written a day later than the rest of this letter, and since then | 1 have struck a gold mine. I am go- ing to send you $40. It will have reached you long before this letter but yowll know that I'm remembering you at any rate. We are -working | just as hard, training every day, and believe me, we are getting there in | quick time. Please don’t worry about me Mother, because I'll return to you safe and sound, and that will be soon I think. This war can’t go on much longer because the Germans must be all in and about ready to quit at the | first chance. TI'd love to be home but | at the same time I'm glad I'm here because I'm fighting for you, the best mother a fellow ever had. Jack O'Brien, Callahan and Hopkins are asking for you and wish you a merry Christmas. It makes me smile to hear them all say, “Gee, Gerry, T'd | like to be home this Christmas and hear your mother sing in church,” | and believe me, they all know that | famous duet in the “Gloria” which you and Mae Dillon sing and the “Alma” and all the rest. There is a crowd here singing in every key imag- inable but they are all happy. I hope that you and Mary will keep in touch, and that vou are taking good | | care of her for me. Gee, she's a great { girl Ma, and when I come home, she's going to be one of the family | if I have anything to do with the proposition. You wrote me a letter | about the women in France, and you can take it from me, that there will never be the time when I shall for- get that T have a sweetheart like Mary waiting for me, and you can tel] her for me that she is my girl, and to me, my girl is the only one I love. Well, Mother dear, I've got to answer a letter from George to- night, so I will close now. T am feel- ing first rate and will be until I come home. Give my love to all and take lots of love for vourself. Hope you like my presents. Your loving | GERRY.
