relatives or old sweethearts, how I'm pining away in the trenches and might be sustained to hurry the end of the war if I could have one of those pictures. Please, please. Sure we can sleep outside in summer. Wha's more - we will. The year before I came into the army I slept outdoors even through the winter. It was rather cool going to bed during the 18° below zero weather, but it was fine when one got things warmed up. I slept on the porch of the barracks last summer but since then I've had to be indoors always. I have missed the moon and stars and the mystery of being out in the night. Must go now. Sorry I couldn't have been in that chair when you wanted me. But wait - Lovingly Con. Conger Reynolds 2nd Lt. A.G.D. PASSED AS CENSORED A.37 A.G.F. (Stamp)
