"July Iti, Somewhere in France.
"Dear dad and mother: J am a
couple days late this week, but 1 have
only ju.-t returned from the second
largest city in France, w here we pa
raded on the 1 1th of July and helped
the I-reueh people celebrate their in
dependence. We had a glorious trip,
and beside our troops there were llrit
ish, French, French Colonials, Belgians
and Italians in the parade. You should
have heard the people cheer when we
marched past, and seen the beautiful
bouquets they threw at us. It was
great. 1 realiy think that the boys did
justice to the occasion, for the general
complimented us, and the French peo
ple said that, we had a magnificent
alignment. We passed through some
beautiful country on our way there. I
think in must he a very prosperous
part, as they have such nice houses
and ali kinds of buildings. 1 am still
feeling fine and of course was able to
enjoy the trip. It was just the right
kind of change we all needed, as we
are all the better for a few days'
amusement. You know that we al
ways have nice clothes. Well, for this
occasion they issued us all new suits of
clothes and equipment, and, of course,
that helped out. I had a letter from
Roy Duvall the night Guy left Co. K
for another nun any, but Guy got to
read the letter and learn Roy's address,
so it came just hi time. 1 hope that
your eyes are better and that you and
dad are both well. I will close w ith
love to you both, and all our friends.

"My dear mother: Just a few lines
to let you know that 1 am enjoying the
best of health, having a fairly good
time and expect to have better as soon
as 1 get my seven days' furlough.
Some of the fellows have bad theirs,
and say they had tine times. 1 have
almost decided not to take mine, for
various reasons. It takes too much
money for one thing, for seven days.
I'll try and get a pass and go over and
.-ee Bill and call it square, maybe. 1
havui't heard from Bill lately. He
must like letter writing almost as well
as I do, I went over to see Kenneth
Bradford. He was out on an ambu
lance. He is only 1" minutes' ride on
a bicycle from here. 1 have been
swimming twice this week ; am going
today if I don't feel too lazy. The
truck takes us to the swimming hole,
especially on hot (lays, hut, we usually
walk. How is everything in Mosier,
war gardens and all'.' 1 wish 1 had a
war garden to gather radishes, etc.,
from, but I Relieve I'd rather own a
cow over here that gave about four
; gallons of milk. Would lie tine these
hot days.
' " This is Saturday and as we do not
have to work all day 1 am trying to
: get caught up on some of my letter
; writing, after I have taken care of my
; Irish horses. 1 cull them Irish because
j their names are Pat and Mike. I had
to take them over yesterday afternoon
to the main camp to get one shod. They
are sure some horses. It was a little
damp today, and of course I had left
my rain coat in rami).
"When is the war going to end?
When the Germans throw their guns
away and yell comrade (kamerad)'.' 1
would like for one of them to try that
on mo just once! I got. a letter from
Bill Thursday. He wanted to know
v. hy I did not quit driving horses and
go to work. He is pulling a cross cut.
Haven't had a mail fur some time. I
! figure it is about time I was getting a
bunch of letters. Melons and grapes
are ripe now, and 1 don't even know
where a melon patch is. Grapes are
scattered all around. Most of them,
however, are not tit to eat. They are
wine grain's and sour! I took one bite
and haven't repeated it. Hope 1 get
some letters when the truck comes
over from our main camp; also that
this finds you all well.
I Love to all, From your son, Leo."
