Dear Mother
I got your letter about a week ago but I had just wrote so I thought I would wait a while. I didn’t intend to wait so long though as it takes so long for a letter to get from here back there. Jim and I went out to a lake about three miles Sunday. there is lots of trees there and the lake twisted all around through the trees. We stayed out until about 3 o’clock so missed our dinner but got some apples on our way back.
It will sure be cold here a little later as it is cold here now of night and has rained several times since we been here. Lots of days it is damp and foggy.
I have been having some work done on my teeth since I been here. We are drawing all of our over seas clothes now and I guess we will go to New York from here and stay there a while.
Well I don’t know any more to write. Tell Pendley and Lizzie that if they ever wrote I never got their letters. Well I would like to see you all but it is only at times that I get lonesome as there is lots of good boys here in the co. and we have been together so much more.
As ever, Chas. Thompson
