Well any way I says I had met a whole lot more Maries then Charlottes in France and she says had I met any Florries and I said no and that was realy the name I had picked out for the kid. So she says well she didnât like the name herself but it was the only name I could pick out that she wouldnât be suspicious of it so the little gal is named after her mother Al and if she only grows up ½ as pretty as her old lady it wonât make no differents if she has got a funny name.
Well Al have you noticed what direction the Dutchmens is makeing their drive in now? They started going the other way the 18 of July and it was 2 days ahead of that time that our regt. was moved over to the war and now they are running them ragged. Well Al I wished I was there to help but even if I was worth a dam to fight I couldnât very well leave home just now.
Your pal, Jack .
