#4 Somewhere in France
June 9 –1918
Dear Mother:
This is my third Sunday in France and believe me it certainly looks like Sunday as everything is nice and quiet. If I was in Chicago I suppose I would be over at the park looking at a ball game. Everything is lovely here and I am in the best of health. The weather is fine and there is just enough breeze blowing to keep it from being to[o] warm.
We were on a hike yesterday afternoon for about three and a half hours. We passed through about five small towns. It would have been fine and dandy if it was not for the hills but I suppose we will get used to them in time.
Has Mabel got all of her garden planted yet? I wish you could see all of the gardens they have here and the way things grow. While we were on the train we could see strawberries growing along the railroad track.
Since I have been here I have seen very few wagons that have four wheels, most of them have two wheels. The horses and cows are all very large. I have never seen such nice cattle as I have seen here.
I have not received any mail yet but I think we will get it pretty soon. I do not know what is going on in the world as I very seldom see a paper. Things are very quiet here and I have not heard any shooting for two or three days.
I hope everybody is well at home. I suppose that Mabel is still working down at the N.W.Y. Co. (Northwestern Yeast Company) yet.
I wish I could think of more to write about but as there is nothing going on it is pretty hard.
Love to all
Theo
PS. Tell Anna the reason she has not receive any letters is because I have no more envelopes addressed to her and she will have to wait until I get a chance to buy some.
