September 28, 1918 Dear mother and all: Your letter of August 30th arrived here today and was sure glad to hear from you all and that you were all well which leaves me the same. I am upon crutches now, have been for two weeks. I have had my final board and was marked for Canada, so I expect to go most any time. We are having very wet weather here. It has rained about every day since I have been here. The war news is loking [sic] pretty good at present. I am getting as fat as a pig now. Send me Howard's picture in his sailor suit. I am gong on leave next week. I am going to Birmingham. I was sorry to hear that you had bad luck by losing one of your cows. We all have to take things as they come. Mother, my leg is coming along fine, though I will still wear the plaster paris cast for a long time yet, perhaps four months. That won't keep me from going to Canada. Was glad to hear that your crops turned out better than you expected. I have had five operations but I came through them O.K. I don't know much to write as army life is about the same every day especially when one is in the hospital. So will close for this time, hoping to be with you in the near future. Pvt.
