France, March 10, 1917
Dear Jeanie,
My usual to let you know I am OK and in the pink. I received a parcel today containing gum, biscuits, etc. It was in very good condition and very acceptable. It just landed at the right time. The weather is very good here now as winter is practically over but we still have plenty of mud. I have not had a letter from Archie for some time. I suppose he is on his way home by this time or making preparations for the trip. I understand his limp will get better in time. I am staying at present in a pretty "jake" billet. If I could only "parlez-vous" it would be "jaker" still, however, we manage to get along. I had a letter from Neil some time ago. He seems to like his work alright. I have sent you a photo and a post card. Let me know if you get them. Well I must close. Remember me to all at home.
Your affec. brother Ronald
