Letter March 16 Dearest Mom




Germany, March 16th
Dearest Mom,
Just a note to send with this letter from dad.

Wish I had a lot of time to write as I should but it always ends up way past bed time before I ever get done half the stuff I should.

I'm feeling pretty good tonight. My cold seems to be about gone and the cough that went with it. 

I should have told you more about that touch of trench foot I had. It all cleared up with a little rest and hasn't bothered me since. That was just a case of exposure to cold and lack of circulation.

Yes, mom, I can wear the garments you spoke of in your last letter. The army doesn't enforce any regulation on the type of under-clothing to be worn except in cases such as landing or invasion where they might expect gas, etc.

I'll write more as soon as I can.

My love to all at home
Lu

Last night I got my first pass in France and we all went into a little town nearby (I'll tell you its name when I'm allowed). Of course the first thing the boys I was with headed for... ...was a wine shop, but that did them no good- "Bosche Take" was all they could get from the proprietress. That was the way with every th...
