Nov. 14, 1914.
Dear Mamma:
I will write you a short letter, on the chance of its going through, to let you know that Paul and I are both well and safe. We are still -at the front, but have been most of the time in the reserve trenches and therefore in no danger. Of course, the hardships are severe but we are standing them well and the outlook is bright. We hope soon to get to some town and rest up for awhile.
The French Army pays only one cent a day and we are both “broke.” We left the money we brought over locked up in our trunk, and we have no way of getting at it. When we do get into a town, we will need to buy a few things, so if you will send us some money regularly it will “come in handy.” Send by International Money Order, and never send more than ten dollars in one letter.
We have received many letters from you, all of which we enjoyed. We get our mail even when in the trenches.
Love to all, and don’t worry. We will come out o.k.
Kiffin.
