Monday Afternoon 2 P.M. Sept 23-18 Dear Honey,      Another day off and will write a few words to you.  Got up at 8-30 this AM took a walk around the camp trying to find a place to get my shoes repaired but have not succeded yet.  Think I will have to take them to town about six miles away.  Also heard the band in the neighboring camp rehearing this AM.  They have 42 pieces and are very good musicians.  Got my picture last night, but don't like them will send a few home at a time.  Got 12 pictures.  The photographer told me to lean over a little and the picture makes me look round shoulder which is not my right appearance.  When I go to town I will have a good picture taken with my best clothes  on and then I hope I will make a better picture.  Am going to get an order for the things I want from  home but don't know whether I can get my butcher kives and army knife over here or not.  I don't remember what wool cl...

Above Letterhead Sunday morning about 6 hours diff.  10-30 AM Pittsburgh time 4:30 AM  Sept 15, 1918  Camp Montierchaum France Dear Honey,      After waiting for three weeks I finally got some mails, three letters and a postcard.  Got your letter (no 15) written Aug 9 and a postal from Alice also a letter from Schafer and one from Rev. Waddell.  Schafer has been feeling fine and working hard as he says in his letter.  Mr. Waddell has left Paris but he says to remember him to the folks at home.  He had a fine time while in England.  He did not say anything about coming down to our camp.  They are kept busy and don't have much time to themselves.      Well I am still at the same old job working in the kitchen.  Nothing new around here, only that the war is still on.  For the last two weeks we have had more rain here than over home in a year.  Just rain continually for two weeks.  Believe m...
