My Cher Ami : I suppose you will think I have gone crazy when you read the way I started this letter out and you will wonder if I have gone crazy. Well Al that is the French word for my dear friend in English so you see I have not gone crazy after all. I took my first lesson last night and it is going to be nuts to learn it because most of the words is just like English only spelled different and you donât say them the same but the man learns us a dozen words and tells us how to say them and we keep saying them over till we get them down and it wontâ be long when we got enough of them learned so as we can jabber back and forth in front of the boys that didnât have sense enough to learn it and they wonât know if we are calling them names or getting ready to murder them.
