The following letter is one received by Mrs. L. E. Butler from her son Leonard, who is somewhere in Germany:

Dec. 28, 1918

Dear Mother and all:

I have received a good many of your letters at last and was so glad to get them. I also received the letter you wrote to Lieutenant Croft. I hope all are well at home. I am getting along fine.

Well, we are in Germany now. We have been hiking about a month, so you see we came in with a little sore feet. But we have got to the stopping place now, and all the boys have got rooms to stay in and beds, so you see we are fixed up very good. Last night was the first time I had slept on a bed in a long time. There are just two of us boys staying in this house-the other bugler and myself, and he can speak German, so you see we get along fine. There are but four in the family we are in the house with-an old man, his son and two daughters. The people are so nice to us. I am now sitting by the stove in the kitchen writing, and the girls are fixing dinner. When I want to say anything I have to get my partner to talk for me, but I am learning to speak a few words. What do you think? There has been snow on the ground here for days, and it is still snowing. You know it is a sight to me to see so much snow. I will have to be on guard tonight, will have to blow a call at 9:30, one at 9:45 and one at 10 o?clock, and a call at 6 o?clock in the morning, so you can see me standing in the snow blowing the calls. It sure is lots of fun to me to see so much snow. I have been sleigh riding and enjoyed it. Well, I don?t know when we will to back to the States. Some say we will be over here three or four months, but you can?t ever tell. I hope it will not be long. I have received some of the Quincy papers you sent me and was so glad to get the news from home. I have had a letter from Joe Lain and one from Ernest Mahaffey; was glad to hear from both of them. No, I never see any of the boys from home. I was so sorry to hear of Marion Peritt?s and C. W. Laing?s death. Well, I guess Robert Butler and Clarence Shelfer to over too late to be in the fight. We had a good Christmas dinner and all enjoyed it. Well, I guess I will have to stop for this time. Now write to me as often as you can, and give my best regards to all.

Love to you all.
Your loving boy,
Bugler Leonard Butler,
Co. L., 38th U. S. Inf. A. P. O. 742,
A.E. F., France, via New York.
