Hep Walker Writes Again from Overseas.

December 18, 1918. Chatillon Lue Seine, France. Dear Mother, and. All: To kill time a few stray idle moments I’ll drop a letter to you tonight. I’m down to the warehouse tonight seeing that no one gets more than one “bail’’ of each garment. We have a hot fire so it seems quite comfortable although it has been raining to beat the cars for some time. That is the chief occupation of the Weather in this country “RAIN.” Ahit as I have a pair of hip boots ami a rain coat I don’t let such little things worry me. When are you looking for me hpme? Well, I’ll not be there before Tuesday of next week. Ha! Ha! I have high hopes of leaving here for the coast early in 19. I’ll be in U. S. A. sometime in February unless we get a job with the army of occupation. I have seen about all I care for over here, so they can give me a tie ticket most any old time. I hardly think this division will be called for patrol work although they seem to be drawing lots of supplies, When you see in the papers that the 81st division is homeward bound, look for m£, for I’m one of the gang Saw a lad last night from the old 38th division. This is the one that Co. M. thrown into. 1 wish I was with them now for they are homeward bound. Will close for tonight hoping to hear front you soon. Lovingly, ILER.
