AMERICAN Y.M.C.A.

ON ACTIVE SERVICE WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE

Sept. 8, 1918

Dear Mother:- I hardly know how to write a letter. There is lots of things I would like to tell but I will have to wait untill I get back. I have had some rich experiences already. I have traveled so much and seen so much beautiful scenery that I feel like I have seen every thing to be seen except Peace. I was in Paris once.

I am on detached service at present.
