With American Expeditionary Forces, France, September 22, 1918

Dear Sir:

Am getting your paper now and thanks very much. I am not back for a short rest but expect to be back at it soon. The “Hun” has got a swell mess on his hands when the old “Yank” boys wind up as I suppose you have seen by the papers of late. Haven’t had the opportunity of seeing anyone of the boys from home yet but perhaps will sooner or later. How’s Renville now? Quiet I imagine as the old town has done her bit by sending so many of the lads to service. But it’s the only place for husky young men right now. Well, news are scarce as we arn’t allowed to say much in regard to war, but I know we are going to do what we were sent here for. Best regards to all hoping I continue to received the Star Farmer.

Your truly, Sgt. W. R. George
