Letter sent in 1919 from a French family that my Grandfather stayed with while waiting to return from the war. My grandfather lived to age 96 but the letter was never translated for him.

My dear friend Clifford,

I was so excited to receive your letter. I was very happy to see thatyou were thinking about me.I was not able to read your letter, so I asked someone to translate itin french. Since October 13th, I have been going to school, ourteacher is another one. As I would like to pass my certifcate nextyear, I have a lot of work to do. I imagine that you are quite happy tobe out of the Army. Winter will be there soon: the weather is verycold.In St Médard, there is not a lot of things to do, that is always thesame. For the moment, I do not have a picture of myself, but nexttime I am am photographed, I will send you one. I hope that you andyour family are still healthy.Kindest regards,Your little french friend,

André Brun

P.S: In this postcard, do you recognize the place where you used toplay tennis or football?
