Dear Old Grandpa: I don't know whether I can write a letter that will interest you or not but I will try. I wast fishing here the other day but did not have any luck.
If the people catch one here about six inches long they think they have got a big fish. They are about the size we use for bait at home, sO I did not fish long. You see, Dad, the Allies are still making the Boche run. The Americans are the whole thing over here. The French people treat us fine.
I have been right up in the front for several days. It is a great place to be. I am still in the signal corps but a different company. They transferred me out of my old outfit when I came back from the front. We did not have a man killed.
Some were gassed but that is not bad. Some are shell chocked and that is bad for a while not last long. Well, I am feeling pretty good now, ready to go back to the front again.

"SALOME" IS AT ATTRACTION HERE For the first time Richmond today is to see the Dance of the Seven Veils, which so stirred blase New York one performance of Strauss' opera, "Salome," which public opinion permit. Richmond is not to see the dance to the caressing cadences of the Strauss music, at least not so far as an operatic setting is concerned, but will vision it on the screen when Theda Bara portrays for the first time the role of that historical "woman scorned." With a mise en scene such as no operatic stage is capable of and with an adherence to the Biblical story in all its historical detail, as is promised, the production should prove one far above the level of the Strauss orgy of dissonances and indecent display, which was builded, it would seem, merely for the sensation and the shekels that it brings in its train. William Fox, the producer of the newest screen spectacle, declares it is the dazzling production of all time. At the Murrette starting today with matinee, Should be on every table!
