Apr 13th Dearest Mother; As near as I know today we leave here about April 22nd and then after two days on rail hit Brest about the 25th & we should leave there tat day.
If all goes well I hope to be in New York about the 1st or 2nd of May and then shortly I will be home -- it can't be true. Well the boys just took mess sergeant Gibney down & threw him in the creek. Sgt. forgot to make them any sandwich to take to the parade today -- he's feeling poor & needs it.

What does thee think of my writting paper my way. swell I enclose a little flower that blooms here now and trust it looks or smells like it does at present. It was a great temptation to return to the 79th Div but pride & homesickness held me to my purpose -- and that is follow you destiny dont force it
Much love to thee I am thine lovingly Jack
