I haven't the least idea when
we are coming home. ,1 only
hope that the time will hurry
and come for us to go, and I m
afraid Uncle Sam doesn't wor
ry much about us and our girls
on the other side. He thinks
we should stay here until this
war is finished, and I think
there is very little it would do
to tell him about some other
fellow about to run off with
your girl. The peace confer
ence isn t settled yet and I
don't look for many troops to
leave here until it is. . A Ger
man is a German, and is just
as undermining now as they
were when the war was going
on, and it would be the height
of their ambition to start some
thing between the French and
U. S. soldiers, but I think the
real American soldiers have
too much sense to listen to
much of this stuff.
I think we will get along all
right here for a while, but we
do want to go home and don t
care how soon. We -may be
there in two or three months, I
hope so.
Was sorry to hear that influ
enza was so bad there. We
had a few cases when we first
went to the. front, but haven't
heard of a case since then.
As there is nothing new to
write about I will close. Tell
everybody hello for me, and
write soon.
