But the way she acts why even if they was any fun over here I wouldn't be
haveing it and suppose I do get on Gen. Pershing's staff and get a lieut.
or something and write and tell her about it, why she would probably wait
till a legal holiday to answer me back and then she would write about 10
words and say she went to the Palace last week and when she come out after
the show it was raining.
Well Al you can't blame a man for anything he pulls off when their wife
acts like that and if I give that little Ernestine a smack the next time
she bulges her lips out at me whose fault is it Al? Not mine.
Your pal, JACK.

_Somewheres in France, March 20._
FRIEND AL: Well Al the sooner the Germans starts their drive let them come
and I only hope we are up there when they start it and believe me Al if
they come at us with the gas I will dive into it with my mouth wide open
and see how much of it I can get because they's no use Al of a man trying
to live with the kind of luck I have got and I'm sick in tired of it all.
Wait till you hear what come off today Al. In the first place my feet's
been going back on me for a long wile and they walked us all over France
yesterday and this A. M. I couldn't hardly get my shoes on and they was
going out for riffle practice and I don't need no riffle practice Al and
besides that I couldn't of stood it so I got excused and I set around a
wile after the rest of the bunch was gone and finely my feet got feeling a
little better and I walked over to the estaminet where that little gal's
at to see if maybe I couldn't brighten things up a little for her and sure
enough she was all smiles when she seen me and we talked a wile about this
in that and she tried to get personal and called me cherry which is like
we say dearie and finely I made the remark that I didn't think we would
be here much longer and then I seen she was going to blubber so I kind of
petted her hand and stroked her hair and she poked her lips out and I give
her a smack Al but just like you would kiss a kid or something after they
fell down and hurt themself.
