Monday.

My darling Trudie,

To-day I had a motor ride for two hours with the President and Mrs. W. The country is now es beautiful and the weather is delightful. I can see how enthusiastic tourist and those tha who visit Paris and France become enthusiastic—and have not the disgust and displeasure of knowing the intriguing, crooked politicians—and the rich, worthless and back biting gossipers. Whose presence is a discredit to any nation. I regret to say that we have some of the same type in America who find comfort in coming over here and adding their rottenness with these poor specimens of humanity. When I see and hear these people I can see why bolshevism exist.

My neck is all right again. I realize that I have been sick but in a day or two I shall feel so good that I will not realize that I have had any thing to matter. To-day is the first opportunity I have been able to visit the hospitals for the past week. The doctors are all fine to me. The French are particularly good in spots, but as a whole their doctors are only fair.

The pictures of you and the boys give me much pleasure and happiness. They help me from getting homesick and lonely for you. I miss you terribly—but I keep busy all the time and am kept busy. The Races are in full swing here but they have little attraction for me as compared with home. I have only been twice—

Good night, my sweetheart,

CTG
