Wavre Belgium Dear Mother:- Have to some more papers and two letters from papers and two letters from you this week. Was so glad to get them. In one letter you thought I was on the way to Germany, Well when we left Mons we started for Germany but stopped at Perivez, and we havent got there yet but you probably know all about that long ago. In the other letter you spoke of me loving my mokes and also asking what they are used for. Well I have another team now of the stupidest mokes I've ever seen. If a fellow never swore in his left before he had a team of mules, 24 hours with a team would double his vocabulary. They are used for drawing limbers instead of horses since they are tougher. It is like this: The drivers sit on the mokes at A & B. and drive both. In our hitch I drive at A and my lead driver (a Toronto fellow named Abbotson[?]) drives at B. So now do you understand all about "mokes". You asked me if I had a cold. Well the day I left Canada I caught a cold and to my knowledge I havent been a day without it. But it never gets worse no matter how wet I get so I don't mind it at all. I had a letter last night from Edith. She was entertaining the Duke of Devonshire recently and also has been doing a lot of snow-shoeing and ski-ing. Gee but that made me homesick as I would have liked so much to be back in time for some this winter but it was not to be, I guess Also skating. I wonder of Ross still has my skates. Herman is in France as far as I know but I don't know in what unit or division. I suppose he will be home before me now as we are that last division and it isn't likely he is in it. Well Mother I will have to close now Lovingly Ludlow
