Dear Bruce,

I hope you are enjoying your vacation on the farm, eating strawberries and cream and cherries and so on. I am still getting beans for breakfast and cheese for supper. I just happened to think I sent a letter to Violet and posted it to Glanford and she will be home now. But I suppose she will get it just the same. We were five days coming across the pond and some pond believe me. England is a very pretty country with its little scenic railways and narrow crooked streets. I haven't seen London yet only when we passed through the outskirts and over the Thames river. I was on a firing party for a captain who died of wounds received in France the last week. Well I close now hoping to get a box of eats or some coin soon.

Jay.
