Dear Honey, Rec'd letters no 52-53 the other day and this morning I rec'd a letter from H.W.S. also his picture. We have had some fine days this week, every day the sun was shining and it gives the sick-fellows a chance to get better. Schafer said that it rained every other days where he is, but we had the same weather here until last week, only it rain everyday. This morning I burnt all the letters I got over here and believed me it made some fire. I kept a few postal-cards out just for remembrance. I wrote a letter to Scott Mac and addressed it to England, but it your last letter you said he was over in France, so I guess they will forward the letter to him. We got our gas-mask and are now drilling with them, it is the first one that I ever have seen. Last night I went to bed about 7 O'clock and slept like a log all night, never got up until 8 o'clock. I was good and tired last night. When I had my light attack of grippe I lost about ten pound, but it won't be long till I get it back again, was only in bed a couple of days, but now am better. Last Sunday we did not have any religious services, I don't know why and I was disappointed. Just reminds one that to-night is Halloween night, but I think it will be a quiet night, for they will be a lot of the boys away, but hope we will be back for the next one. Do you remember last year when you were dressed up in my clothes and walk over home? What a time we had. We are not having a celebration over here, but we have lot of English walnuts and no taffy. My but my mouth does water, when I think of candy, ice cream etc and I almost forest waht it tastes like. Have been over here in France now for over three months, seems like three long years to me. Well honey dear I will close now as I want to write to HWS and then I am going to take a little walk out in the sun. With an ocean of love and kisses to the best girl in the world from Her Soldier Hubby, Clarence.
