France, Aug 8 1918

 

Dear Mother,

 

            I receive three or four letters from Anna and Mabel the other day.  I have them packed in my roll right now as we are going to move to another place so I cannot tell you what the numbers are.  We have had a good deal of rain lately so everything is pretty muddy.  I am feeling fine although my feet have been a little sore but I have had them fixed up so they are in pretty good shape.

 

            I am going to send $10 home in a day or so.  I do not like to have to[o] much money on me and it is hard to spend very much unless you drink a lot of wine,

 

            We were paid a few days ago and I have paid my last installment on my Liberty Bond so you ought to be receiving it pretty soon.  Anna says that you folks have been buying quit a few W.S. Stamps.

 

            We are not having much warm weather here and it gets pretty cool at night.  I hope this war ends pretty soon as I think it will as the Germans seem to be on the run right now.

 

A half dozen airships just passed over our camp just now on their way to the front.  It is great to watch them flying over the German lines and the German[s] shooting all around and cannot hit them.  I have seen thousands of shots fired at them but I have never seen one brought down.

 

Well I do not know of anything more I can write about just now so I will close with

 

                                                                        Love to all

                                                                                    Theo
