So long since I wrote, can’t remember where I left off. Last ten days
spent as follows:
_Mar. 25._ Over German lines.
_Mar. 26._ Ascension in United States balloon.
_Mar. 27._ Orders to leave Toul with entire escadrille.
_Mar. 28._ Packed and left Toul, arriving in Paris.
_Mar. 29._ In Paris preparing to go to Front.
_Mar. 30._ Reported to aviation center near Paris where escadrille was
to receive new equipment of planes.
_Mar. 31—April 1 and 2._ Reported each day to headquarters and returned
to Paris in evening.
_April 3._ Orders to the Front in new planes.
Reported to headquarters to find I was released from French Army and
must go to United States headquarters. Left for Paris and there received
orders to go to American Army center in France.
_April 4._ Arrived at A. A. C., was sworn in as second lieutenant.
_April 5._ Returned to Paris, ordered clothes, and now await orders to
action.
With love.
Your son,
