[Centered] Dear mother:- [Far right Margin] I am still [Left Margin] keeping fairly well. I had a sore throat and was pretty hoarse last week but am better now. I had a slight case of influemga or French La grippe in September when I was near Paris but it only lasted about five days I am now living in a small dug-out back of the front. I can hear the big guns all night and at intervals the sky is lit up so you can see how to walk

[Centered] Dear mother:- [Far right margin] I received [Left margin] your letter today that was written on Oct. 14. Just a month ago. You told me about Sarah and Moses being married and about Haywood being at Camp Jack. You said you have not gotten a letter from me since I have been over here. I have written you from every place I have been and have written about every week except when I was in transportation.
