Dear Father and Sisters:-

It affords me great pleasure to write you of the fact of attending a
Masonic Club meeting in the historic and battle torn city of Verdun. Am
enclosing a program of the occasion and will proudly state that I am a
member of the A.E.F. Masonic Club now. They were about 300 Masons there,
most of them R.R. men from Chicago. Will send program under seperate
cover as it is to big to enclose.

Wild rumors out that we are starting home in the next 60 days. Nothing
official yet.

Am still here in Chateau de Verdun in little city of Sommedeiue about 7
kilometers from where I was stationed on 11/11.

Am feeling fine to-nite for I took my Saturday plunge this afternoon.
Slept until 11:30 this morning, in fact I do about every other morning.
Am fat and lazy. I want to reduce to about 140 when I get back in “Civy”
clothes.

Weather has been clear and cooler for past 10 days. Sure great to be
without the rain. Ground has been frozen for 4 days now, but no wind
like Kans.

Have not had any mail for about 7 days now, time for a bunch to come in.

Will close for to-nite.

Trusting all are well at home, I remain

Your son & brother,
Milo H. Main
