Dear Ben and All,

I have been wondering how you made out on the first day of the season. hope you had good luck. Don’t forget to tell me how many you missed. Ha. 

Well, I supposed you are digging potatoes about this time. Hope you have good weather. The weather here has been somewhat unsettled. Although not too cold yet.

When we was awhile back there was one coal mine after another. So we got to take a shower they have a very big shower for the coal workers.

Well the apples are ripe now but we run out of orchards and in a while we run into a small one but nothing like back in Normandy. 

Hope this fines you in good health. I should have some mail from you when I get back to the Company. Felix
