I never though [[thought]] I would see the place again after I went in there with my two little dankis but this will be the forth [fourth] time I have seen it am making very careful drawings of it and will put the 
Denkis in it and a few soldiers. 
This will be the first trip of
Mr. Loft also to the battle line we will begin saturday & sunday.
The photographs came alright and your letters in regard to them I was delighted to see them the men are realy very glad to  study them every body here thinks I am somebody when I saw them it made me quit home sick, but we are all husseling around

Transcription Notes:
Need help finguring out what word that looks like 'dankis' means. several words are best guess and noted with [[?]] I even googled some things for reference to help decipher some of the words/names but unsure. please transcribe the entire document before turning it in for review.
