Private Frederick Geer of Battery B, 56th artillery, has sent the follow- ing letter to his parents here: Somewhere on the Western Front. Dearest Mother and Father:— I have been on the front for about six weeks mow and am getting along fine. Our outfit certainly was formed under a lucky star, as there has been no deaths ds yet, though we have been under all kinds of fire. We were firing on a certain town and we razed it to the ground. We haye been or the move a good deal and_though if always means hard work we are al- ways racing to go forward. A Nor- wich boy ran across one of the Kent boys here, I don't know which one if was, but he is a motorcycle-despatch rider, I have craned my neck at motorcycle that has gone past me, to no avail. The Boch has nnoihez spell of running and 1 only hope that we will be able to catch up to them. T am writing this letter during a full of firing. We were back of the lines for about a week and a half rest, which we all appreciated very much. Please take out another year's fem- bership in the Red Cross for me. 1 only wish that I had the means to dc more for that splendid organization, but I will have to be satisfied with my little widow’s mite. I récéived tem of your most welcome letters within a Qay of each otfier. You write in one of them as though you thought that I was discouraged about not receivins more mail. You certainly gained & wrong impression, as 1 reeeive my share, considering our many differént movements, and 1 haven’t had much time to write to all the peeple that I would like to, but please tell my friends thdt I haven't forgotten them and 1 will answer all the lettérs that I can find time to. Receiving lettérs are the most enjoyable moments in otir lives. Our next happiest ories are when we receive orders to fire a bunch of live onés over to our friend Fritz. BORN.
