Everybody laughed. Our adventures have been more like those of lost tourists than soldiers. Today I saw an American soldier calmly fishing in the mill-race. A little later saw a French [poiler?] swinging homeward on leave with a helmet on his arm all battered by trench warfare. I wonder when we are really going to get into the war. We were married only six weeks ago today. Can it be possible that it was not longer? I want you, dearest, most muchly. It just can't be helped. Night, sweetheart, my own - yours - Conger.
