May. 16. 1918.

Dear Sister Madaline:

This I think will be my last letter to you from U.S. Soil. I sent home for $10 but up to now I did not receive it. I have all my letters ready to send to you all stating that I arrived safe in France. I do not mail them until I board the transport. Our company is on guard today but some how I missed it. I really do not know what else to write about except that take good care of pa and Bob.

I am

Your Loving Brother

Joe
