The following letter was recently received by Miss St. ean: Somewhere in France, June 1%, 1918, Dear Sister: You don’t know how I.am today. I had a very great e this morning, one -that was least expected. Brotker Joseph has safely landed in France. I met him this morning and spent_a couple of hours with him. He was a surprised s|boy to see me and you may rest as- sured that I was greatly surprised too. This is how it happened: He belongs to the 310th Infantry from Camp D! ew Jersey. The day before he left the United States—-May 10th—he wrote, telling me .he was about to leave for France and gave me_his address. 2 ‘Well the 310th Infantry cam2 in here two days ago and I knew this particular unit was here, for they were camped only about fifteen minutes’ walk from our camp but of course T didn't know that he belonged to that unit because I didn’t get his letter un- til that night, June 13! He landed before his letter did. So he was here snd we were very mnear ea other without beinz aware of it This morning right went over there and it was a most un- usual coincidence, He was standing near his tent with his back turned towards me, wiping his mess kit and of course I didnt recognize him in the uniform. Think- ing it was ‘someone else I was about to ask him if he knew where Hdg. Co. was and just about that time he turn- ed around and when I saw who it was, Holy smoke! I never was so surprised in my life! He looked at me a few seconds and couldn’t believe his eyes. He thouzht I had drooved from the sky, I guess. You can imagine how pieased both of us were. 1 thought he was looking very good. He said e was feeling fine, only a littie tired from traveling =0 much. They were in England a week and they moved again today. I don't know where is going and he doesn't-either. give you all the news abont our hig surprise and about brother and my- self. He is in Hdg’s Co.. Signal Corps. I was very.glad to hear that, for it is ape of the best jobs in the army. The whrk is not very hard but very interesting, being suitable fer him. The work of the signal corps is to build and maintain lines of commu- nication. He will like it, T know, He dcesn’t have to go in the trenches. Probably we may have the opportu- ni of meeting again. His captain has’ spoken to him a number of tlmes in regard to his French. I really think he will have a very good job. No doubt he will be attachel to head- quartérs and they can use him as in- terpreter. That's how I came to zet the jon I have now. He didn’t know what his duties were going to be for he is not familiar with army life, but when I told him he was very, much pleased, that T could plainly detect. I guess his letter will reach vou the same time as this one, but I'm giving you his address so you can he sure to have it and write often to him. You don’t know how pleased we are to get letters from our home. (Priv- ate Joseph St. Jean, Hdg's Co. 310th Inf., A. E. Force, France.
