My Dear Mother:

Just a few words. I received a letter from you today along with several more from home. They were the first I have had for some time. I have not written to you in about a week, for we have been expecting to go home every day but we are still here. The last report is that we are going Thursday week (Dec. 12^th). I will come back to the States as a stretcher patient, for not only can’t I walk but I have to keep my foot up all the time. I will be glad to come back to the States any old way. I am tired of this country. I will have to have another operation when I get back to America, so the sooner I get back the sooner I am right again. I will be in the States any way, if nothing happens from now on. Tell everybody not to write to me any more unless you hear from me again. I will wire you just as soon as I get in hospital in the U.S.A.

With lots of love,

Will
