Syren, Luxemburg

Apr. 18,1919

 

Dear Anna:

 

            Received six letters from you and Mabel a few days ago.  We are busy getting ready to leave here.  We expect to leave not later than Wed. the 23rd.  I received a letter from John Dahl from Camp Upton.  I suppose he will be mustered out in a few days.  I also received a picture of Enoch.  I suppose he has sent some to his friends in Chicago so you will get to see it.

 

I am glad to hear you received money as I was wondering if it got to you safe and sound.

 

We do not have any chance of spending any money here so I have nearly $100 more and we signed the payroll last night so I expect we will receive our April pay when we get on the boat.

 

I am glad to hear Ma has so much company so it is not so lonesome for her.

 

We expect to go on board about May 1st.  I suppose we will get home just about in time for the Decoration Day parade.

 

We have had rain the last week or so but the weather is fine today.  I only hope it stays this way until we get on the boat.

 

Well this is all the news for this time.

 

                                                Love to all

                                                            Theo
