STILL IN FINE SPIRITS Joseph Schaid Is Anxious For Work "Over There" Mrs. Geo. Schaid has handed us the following letter, which she received from her son, Joseph, who is now over in England. The letter: May 12, 1918. Dear Mother--Well, I received your letter today and will write and let you know that I was very glad to hear from you. It has been just three months since I last received mail and seems good to get two letters in one day. Also received one from Gertie, so will write her tonight. I expect to get more mail now and hope they will all write as often as they can. It is hard to write to all of them at once, but will do my best. Well, we are stiy here and we are taking care of 500 tents and that is very easy. While writing this letter it is raining outside, but it is quite warm here. We lay around under the trees waiting for more active times. I will be glad when I get to working again as I am getting too fat. You know I do not worry any. I know we well never get much of this anyhow so I just let things go as they please. Am glad that Mat is still home and hope he will stay there for this is not like home. Sorry to learn of Uncle Pete's death, but we will all go some time, but let's hope that they will not all go before I get back, so that I may see them all once again. I cannot tell you very much about affairs here. We go up town every night so we are having good times. Good times are to be had here, but it isn't like the good old U. S. A. Am still with the same boys who left the states with me and all seem to be en­ joying themselves. We get all we want to eat and drink, so we are all in fine spirits. Knowing that you received my let­ ters I will write more often in the future. I will send you a picture of our mess line on Morn Hill. Well, good-bye and good luck. Just got an­ other letter from Kate, so will read it at ofiBt. With love to all, from Your son, Joseph.
