Friend Mary once more I find my self seated for the purpose of writing a few lines to you once more. I got to the Regt on the 15^th of this Munth finding the Boys usualy well and every thing looking naturel. I now sit writing on the same old table which I have written many a letter on before my journey and visit to the North. I have bin gone about 2 munths from camp and had a good time and good visit and now again return to duty and got to visit with pen and paper I have bin sorry that I did not stay longer to your house but it is to late for it now when I come again I will stay longer and make a different / visit. I expected to come to Dunkerk and stay there a spell and if I had I should came up again and made a longer stay altho I feel more satisfied than if I hadent came atall. Give Don and the Boys my best respects and tell them to write. I will put in a line to Bill in this and you will please hand it to him tell your Mother I couldent find another case like those Little ones so you can give her one of those pictures, a Photograph. I wrote for you to send one of them to me and keep what you wanted and send the rest to Mother
