on. I plan to be in Cedar Rapids some time in August; also in Kanawha, and if I can arrange it I want to visit this wonderful Mary Dorr. I'm de-lighted at the prospect of having a German helmet in our house. And I am just as well satisfied to know that you didn't take it away from a German at the point of a pistol. I wish you'd hurry up and bring it home. I'm almost fed up with this War Bread & Huney stuff. One thing in your letter of June 26th didn't sound quite right, and I don't think you really meant it. I'm glad, and I know you are glad, that you didn't remain in Washington. The first I heard of the possibility of your being transferred to a stay-at-home place, I was almost ready to dance for joy, but when I saw the look in your eyes, I knew what giving up such a wonderful experience would mean to you. I'm glad you went dear, since we are in it. I wouldn't have it any other way. I think we'd both be disappointed in the long run if you'd remained in Washington, because my pride when you come marching home to me, will more than recompense any heart aches I've had to endure with you so far away. No one could
