My dearest Olive:<\/p>\n

Yours truly has not written a letter for some days, but that can be explained by knowing that I am on the way to the Rhine. Suppose you have suspicioned this before this. I may be home before I thought I would, since our division was the first to come to France.<\/span><\/p>\n

I received two letters from you today. the last was written the 27<\/span>th<\/sup> of October and you were still have your vacation, but suppose that you are back to work by this time. Was glad to hear that you were having a vacation since it would give you a rest. By the time you get this you will have finished your third month of school. You would be surprised to see me home by the first of the year. I do not know when I will be there but it will be some time perhaps. Maybe two of three months.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am seeing lots of country afoot. You know that is the way one can see most everything along the way. the march though gets very tiresome sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is Sunday but one cannot tell Sunday from Monday here. One must first stop and think of the sequence of days of week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Had a letter from Olive V. today Ill also added a line. The were all OK, save the influenza.<\/span><\/p>\n
