American Lake June 28, 1917.

Dear Ma:

Received your letter and
paper last night. I never had
the Sunday Ex. but we can
get them every day, two days late.
Last night it rained like the dickens
and our tent stretched and came
half down and we had to go out
and fix it. It is raining now and
everything is so wet we don't
have to drill.

The day we got up here I went
to the Dr. and had my boil lanced,
and I havn't had any more
since then.

The way we understand things
now we don't go to France for
quite a while. I think we are
going to leave here in about
six weeks or so for a camp back
