The long delay be- tween his letter writing plained that he was neglectful be- cause of dreariness, due to war work. ‘““We are very busy these days, hav- ing the Germans on the run and furthermore we expect to keep them Boing,” writes the soldier. “‘Believe me dad, and you can tell everybody that the American troops are ‘there’ a hundred different ways—particula ly the boys from New ngland. Connecticut and Massachusetts men are certainly doing their bit in this great war. “But it's funny, actually funny, in fact I haven't had so much fun in all my life as I have had in the army. I am not in the front line trenches, understand, but back of them. I have met a lot of fellows, both American and French who have been there and Just at present prospects good.” “After leaving school last fall I was on what is called ‘detached service’ you know, away from your regular squadron. I was with a training squadron to teach other fellows who re coming over from the States the engine work that I specialized on in school. After a month I went to my original squadron and now have a department of my own. I am the squadron chauffeur, which is a very good job. - We have a very good | squadron in the mechanical line, over half of them graduates of the French schools.” Soidier Richardson writes he is en- joying excellent health ‘eating fine and bigger than ever.” He- antici- pates going in for farming after the war.
