Eitelbruck Luxemburg
Dear Mother:
I am in Luxemburg at present. We arrived here this morning. We left the hospital early Thursday morning. We left Beaune about 7:30 AM and went as far as Dijon where we had to change to different line. We had to wait at least eight hours as the train was late. We rode all night until about ten oclock and the[n] we had to get off at a place called St. Dizier. We stayed there until about 6:30 pm. We took another train which took us through Toul and Nancy. We arrived at Metz about one oclock in the afternoon. The depot at Metz is one of the largest I have seen since I have been over here. We had to take another train a 6.00 oclock which took us as far as a town called Bettemburg where we had to sleep on the waiting room floor all night. It was the warmest place I have slept in since I left home. It was almost too warm. We took an early morning train and arrived in the city of Luxemburg about an hour later. We had to wait there about two hours for another train which took us to this town. We took another train which took [us] about three miles to a small town where we reported to division h’d’q’t’s. We returned here and are waiting for a train to take us back to the place where our company is. Luxemburg is about the nicest country I have seen. I had some ice cream today which was the first I have had since I left the states. It certainly does cost some money. I had a small dish of it and it cost 30 cents about the same as you pay for a quart.
You had better address all my letters the same as always again. That is, direct to the company.
I suppose I will receive some mail when I get with the company again as I have not received any for over two weeks. Well this will be all this time and I will write again in a few days. I hope you [are] all as well as I am,
Love to all
Theo
