Q. S. We are al. fed up on rumors concerning our re- turn to the stales and most of us are hoping to get back soon after the first of the year. We are in the First Ar- my and that will probably go home first. It's pretty epld here at present but the weather is bright and snappy, &0 _we are all feeling good. Received a letter from Fred Wat- son a few weeks ago and have just answered it. “Haven't writlen to many of the boys, because when I was lucky enough to get an envelppe it was time to write home. Henry Rich was up cn the lines near Gs spmewhere but I didn’t meet him. Well, I am glad this thing is over: if. we had fought tbhrouch the winter I guess we would have been pretty well frozen up, it's bad eapugh in warm weather. 1 suppose-the boys at the camps are beginninz to céme home now and we cught to follow soon. Our regiment ¢id some good work at the front so we ought to be among the first to re- turn. At one time I had several sou- venirs I intended to take back but in the unnatural course of war I lost about everything I had exéept my life and think myself lucky to get away with that. 'When We first came in the town, after the armistice was signed, the Dutchmen were cnly about half ‘a mile away. The peoplé here have been under them for four years and show it. The Germans carried away about evervthing of vale, in- cluding mest of the grub. The French women now do our washing and sew- iug and at very reasonable prices and earn quite a little that way and at the same time help us a great deal. Haven't received that Christmas package yet but when I do it won’t have a chance. 'Well, 'm geiting to the end of the paper so will close, wishing you a happy birthday and a merry Christmas.
