Dear Nug,

Have definite orders to start moving Jan 18 for Le Mans. As near as I can make out it is a large de-lousing station in the Embarkation Area.
[...]

Our Colonel says we will be on the water by Washington's birthday.
[...]

I see the Boston Papers state that Edwards [ the original Yankee Division Commander ] says no troops will parade in N.E. until his division gets home..
[...]

Write Soon,
Love,
Bootus

[Censor's script passing letter]
