France, writes to his parents who lives in this
place.
"Somewhere in France"
Sept. 20, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father
I take the pleasure in answering you most welcome letter I received
the other day and was more than pleased, to hear
from home. I was in the line when I got your letter
so I had to wait until I got out to answer it. I
came out of the line with trench fever and I am in
the hosipital now but expect to be out soon. I would
sooner be with the boys in the Battalion. I was in
the hosiptal so much when I was in England that I am
sick and tired of it.
Well Mother, you asked me if I met any of the boys I knew, no not
yet. Do you remember mother when I was in Windsor
Mills you sent me a letter to come home. How I wish
I could do it now, as I I am so homesick that I
don't no what to do. I supposed I will have to stay
that way, I have stood it so long I will have to a
while longer. We are having some nice weather here
now. Well dear mother, I wish you wouldn't worry
over me so much. I am all right and I will be going
back some day and you and I will have a dance
together. When I think of the good times gone by I
could sit down and cry. Give my Kind regards to
father and tell him not to work to hard. Well I must
ring off for this time, Good-by from your loving
son,
Damase Cheverier.
