World War I Collection

from Ray Durney to you this last week.

The war news is splendid & we feel more encouraged about the whole situation for that reason – I am in bed with a bad cold – all alone in the house & correspondingly lonely, but as I am busy all the time it keeps me from moping too much – but I wish you and the other dear boys might pop in to see me as you used to do – It was a help – to have your bright faces coming in – The water supply is so bad that all [underlined] gardens etc are dying we are forbidden to use any [underlined] water for outside on pain of having it shut off every way.

Fond love dearest heart – I hope you are comfortably situated in France and
