Annecy, France Feb 23, 1919
Friend Clara, Thought I would disfigure a few of the superfluous Y.M.C.A.
Sheets this Sabbath afternoon in stating a brief diary of my experiences in
luxurious existence for the past fortnight. Imagine us poor louse-bounf
creatures who for the last nine months have been sleeping wherever and upon
whatever happened to be near when we halted for the night and eating from a
mess kit whatever we were fortunately issued and part of the time without
coffin nails, (right here I state with satisfaction and contentment that I
have within easy reach and opend, a neat little package from Dr. Smoke Blue
Chesterfield), Finding ourselves in the swell Bar-Room of a magnificent
Hostelry in Old Annecy, the Venice of France, at eleven p.m. by the clock.
We were immediately shown to our rooms by fair French Damsels; Ah! They are
Queens, believe me; "But The Sargent," who it was to share my company as a
bed fellow; as well as myself, felt an inclination to explore the lower
depths of the hotel; and after exchanging a few inviting glances at each
other, which by the way, is all the introductions necessary for members of
the A.E.F. to become acquainted; we came to the decisive conclusion that;
being such a lengthy time without Spiritous Toxins of a notorious, world
renowned purity and high excellence of strength, "We would sample some of
the choicest brands ere' the dawning of another day. After sipping a couple
of exquisitely flavored cocktails, we ascendedthe long winding stairway to
our room, and say, that big springy bed;well, upon occupying said article it
seemed as if we descended about two stories in an elevator. Upon rising
rather late the next morning, we agin edged our way to the inviting
Bar-Room, anticipating a sharp appetizer for the midday luncheon; But alas!
Those ever pestersome , intruding M.P.s had been on the job, as usual and in
place of the sign on the wall which read; American mixed drinks and
cocktails of all calibers, another bulletin was posted which read something
like this. American Soldiers may purchase the folowing beverages; light
wines, beer, (Which analysis would prove to be nothing more than nothing at
all), coffee, tea, cocoa and last but not least, m.I.L.K. Just think of it;
a common American soldier given the privelege to purchase milk instead of
brandy in a french cafe; It may seem strange but nevertheless hit 'em
T.R.U.E. Comparatively yours, Irvie
