Dear Anna,

 

            Received your letters of Feb 22^nd and 25^th and Mabel’s letter of Feb 25^th.  Dollar bill and socks arrived in good shape.  We are getting ready to leave her in about ten days.  If all of our stuff is in good shape, the sooner we will get on the ships bound for home.  We do not know what port we are going to sail from.

 

From what I have read in the papers the “Rainbow Division” is going to sail from Antwerp, Belgium.  I do not think I will get a furlough as we will be on our way home before the last bunch returns.  I think they will have to join us when we are on our way.

 

            The weather has been pretty good the last week or more.  It gets pretty cold at night but it does that during the summer also.  We were inoculated again today for typhoid and I think we received an injection of 2,500,000,000 germs.  I expect to have a sore arm tomorrow.  These injections must do some good as I very seldom hear of a case of typhoid fever over here.

 

            I think I will do the same as Ella’s cousin when I get home.  It will feel so good to get home I will not want to leave the house.  I do not know of anything more to write about so I will close with

 

                                                            Love to all

                                                                        Theo
