Yes, I regret very much that I was not there to enjoy your visit with you, but probably will be with, you next time. (Spent a very pleasant four days in - ' J ~ svt London the first of u^e wees auu uct quite a few Americans and Australi2ns just from the tienches and the/ certainly are confident of giving the Germans just what they deserve, and return home by Xmas. Of course it is rather doubtful if such will be the case; in my mind. But to hear the Australians talk that fought with the Americans during July would certainly make any one. believe that we can and will do it. They say it is a perfect miracle the way the Yanks fight and they themselves believe our boys can accomplish within a few months, what they themselves could not do with help, within a few years. You know that I have always been a true patriotic American and proud of it, but believe me, when I return to the good old U. S. A. I am going to return to a better America than I thought it possible to he. O! course I would like to see the war over soon but I do not want to return until the German army and people have suffered as they have made the Belgians and Franch suffer, and believe me the Yanks are goin? to teach them a lesson that they will never foreet. T went to the London address of Dock's but did not see him as he ts in France. You can send him my address as follows: U. S. S. Hannibal, cfo G. P. M.

I will answer your sweet letter. I was &o glad to get a letter from you I am well and doine fine. I have been In the front line and have been out on no man's land but have not been in a fight yet. I guess we will before long. The only thing that is worrying us now is the mud. We have a rain almost every day and gee this beats all places for mud I ever saw. Ten minutes after a rain you can stand up and soon as the sun comes out ground drie* off in a couple of hoirs so it looks like we i-oyon't hqrf ra,-n but we are getting use to the mud. I guess you have hear of the good work we have been doing and as long as this continues I think you will see me home Christmas. "Well it is most time for the Huns to come over with their nice little aeroplanes, dropping bombs around so I guess I will put out the candle before he puts it out for me.

I haven't heard much about the War ! since I left over there. It doesn't seem that the bovs realize that the war is on, everybody seems to be having a good time together.
