MRS. ALBERT WOLF RECEIVES LETTER FROM HER SON.

Somewhere in France, May 12, 1918. Dearest Mother: Thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know that I am in the very best of health and myself very much. Everything is in it’s glory now. The flowers and trees are all in bloom. It is a beautiful sight to get on top of some of the large hills we have close to our camp and look far across the country. We have been , having splendid weather here for some time. It really never did get very cold, nothing like the winter you had. I received 3 .letters Friday and three Saturday, one from you in ea<Jh bunch. It rained like the dickens here last night and today, but it has ceased now. We are camped in a large forest away out from nowhere, but I am more conterfted out here than being in some of the large towns we have been staying in. We never stay in one place so very long. I am glad of it, for I can see more country. Would like to be all over France before I return home. We had a band concert out in the woods this afternoon, which I enjoyed very much. It put me in mind of the ones We used to have at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Mamma, you asked me if I received the articles you sent me. Yesl received them some time ago ana was so pleased to get them for I only had 2 towels, so you see I needed them. I went to the dentist the other day and got some filling drilled out and new ones put in. He must have had a hard nose for he almost took my head off. I have to go in Tuesday morning again. Hope he is in a better humor the next time I pay him a visit for he is a rough old dude, anyway. I am goigg to send you a better picture as soon as I can have them taken. We very seldom can get them taken. This is the 12th of May which is Mothers Day, and Gen. Pershing requested all the boys to write home to his mother, and I think all of them are

doing it for we have an awful bunch to censor. Well mother dear, news is scarce. I have been in three battles. Guess I will have to close for this time. Tell all the folks I send my love to one and all. Tell papa I wrote him a letter two weeks ago. Good-bye. With love to you all. From your loving soldier iboy, PRVT. GEORGE WOLF, Battery C, 150th" Field Artillery, 67th Brigade, American E. Force Via New York.
