[Postcard from Robert Lincoln O'Connell to his mother, July 21,1918]

July 21, 18   Paris

Great country, great weather, great business. All kings of handouts,
first, a tiny nick over ankle, next, chocolate, smokes, this postal, 
plus free rides on train - and the end is not yet. Will write in
a few days. Don't need anything but a shave, bath, and sleep. Old
outfit nearly all here. Mighty lucky.

Rob.
