Letter March 24 Dearest mom and All

Germany, March 24th

Dearest Mom and all,
This is just going to be a note tonight 'cause I hear I have a couple of letters back at the Battery and also some stamped air mail envelopes that I ordered some time ago which will come up here tomorrow.

I'm sorry I've been so lax in getting letters off lately and I'll try to improve.  I don't know why but in the past few weeks I just haven't had the patience or ambition to try to write a decent letter no matter how much or how little time I've had. I guess It's partly because no mail has come in at all regularly for me and the last letters were of Feb 14th & 15th.

I'm feeling swell these days but spring fever hits me hard when the sun pours down like it did today and the warm breezes blow in over the open fields. I've been running around in shirtsleeves it's been so nice.

You all know how much I miss each one of you and oh how I dream of being back with you one of these bright days. I'll write again tomorrow (I hope).
Love, Lu

Things were rather hectic for me for quite awhile after we came over here and we still have some work of the drudgery sort to do for a while but we are now in a "Rest" area safe and sound from any enemy action and have prospects of some relaxation (can't count on it too long though.) 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...
