scrach. I think that every thing will soon go on nicely here also. But I understand that we must wait some time yet, because the solder needs the foyer now as much, probably more than during the war as there is nothing for them to do now and the foyer is quite a meeting place for them. As soon as they get men that can do this work, I will leave. Have already asked to be relived among the first, we are in a beautiful city if the sun would only shine for 15 days it has been cloudy or rainy so every day is a dreary day. Just received a letter from Gen. Paul. They are quite well and now waiting to be placed. He speaks of having sent me chocolates. have received nothing from him so far. hope it will soon come. I dine always with the Colonel. he is very kind to me but I wish for the time to go home and see you. The famious corn the grate wood pile, go hiking and get lots of work. we went hunting the other day. a dozzen officers and 20 [[?]] in the grate forests. There often Wild Boar Foxes and other wild game but got nothing although there are plenty. it was an unlucky day for us. but very interesting to me, to see how they hunt.
