July 9^th Somewhere in France

Dear Mom-

I have another moment to let you hear from me. Today is Sunday, and except for the Church Service it seems like any other day. I have trouble keeping up with what day it is, for they’re all busy and very much alike.

We’re getting the news on the radio now from England, very good reception; it seems odd to hear news of advances a (?) miles away. Most of the news now is good, but the going is still tough. Our grapevine news is a good source too. I wrote Gene McGehee last night. Thanks for sending his address. I hope he will write me. I write Cheatham too, several days ago.

Hope you have received the $20 I sent home from England by now. I just arranged to have $25.00 more out of the pay I will receive on July 31^st. I want to have something to start on when I get back, and every little bit helps.

So long for a while- Hope the mail brings a few letters today-

Love

Jack-
