Dear Docs

Your newsletter came today and I was very much flattered to have
my letter published. It always is a swell publication and I anticipate its arrival.

We have been rolling along so fast I-haven't been able to keep up
very much correspondence but I'm sure everyone will be glad to wait while we proceed
with the business at hand.

The towns and villages that we roll through are certainly
different than those earlier in the cempaign. The people throng the streets
and shower the convoys with flowers and fruit. If you stop you are immediately
swarmed by people who I believe are sincerely evens to see us. By the way, Doc,
France has many beautiful girls to its credit, and their greeting system isn't
just a rumor.

The people are very generous and consequently our rations have
really improved. We now can get chicken, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes and onions to
add to the usual 10-1 ration of our own.

The picture is changing fast and we are well on our way home.

I just hope it holds but just a little while longer and we won't have to fool with
the Boche any more. Please give my best regards to the family and to all the folks

on the Hill.

Sincerely,

John
