ride from Mt. Notre Dame
to the Fismes road. This
was once when I wished
that I knew more French.
Carried empties back to Bazoches.
Back to camp at 4 P.M.
Beautiful moonlight night.
Expect to hear some Boche
planes over before morning.

Saturday Sept. 29 '17

Yes planes came over but
were driven off very soon.
Yesterday I matched Cutie to see
who would go on convoi [convoy] and
I lost, so he went on convoi [convoy]
today. -- This afternoon the
U.S. recuting [recruiting] captain got all
the fellows of all the sections
together in the Y.M.C.A. tent
and gave us a talk. I wasn't
for his little speech at all.
