Angers France
June 19, 1918

Dear Bess:
     
      This is the grandest afternoon I've spent since I've been in France. I recieved [sic] seven, count 'em, seven letters from you, five from Mary[52] one from Boxley[8] one from Blair and a card from Miss Maggie[42]. I got them at noon today at regimental headquarters and then I had to come back to Battalion Hqrs and have a school for two hours and then read letters from home. I saved yours until last because I wanted the most possible enjoyment and worked things on a climax basis. You've no idea what a grand and glorious feeling it is to have seven letters from the only girl in the world poked at you by a mail orderly. The latest possible date too, May 20, was one of them. I wrote you
