all kinds of rumors are out - the most logical of all is that we will leave in about four months. If I am home by Easter I will be content.

Phil Stone has been sick - I have not seen him for three weeks, as he was left in Belgium sick when we marched on. The day he did catch up with us we left on this railroad work. What do you think about the Distinguished Service Cross awarded to Maurice - pretty fine, eh! Love, Charlie censored by 1st Lt Engrs U.S.A.]
