Dear Folks,
I received your letters from you this week, the latest one was Feb 20 and found me in the best of health and hope you people are the same. The country were we are now is very pretty. The fruit trees are in bloom. You see palm trees and bamboo trees and see large grape vine yards as this part of the country is all they raise. There is an old castle here built in 1400 I am going out to see

I received Ruth and the children' pictures which was very good would like to see them. You ask about paper Y.M. C.A give us all the paper we want. I got some oysters off a Frenchwoman so am going to have oyster stew tomorrow. We expect to start for home next month. We are a short way from Bordeaux where we sail from.
So you see we will be home soon. When I came from the hospital I went Le Mans where the 26 division is now. I have been about all over France from the northern part to the southern part
