WHOLESALE AND RETAIL LIVE STOCK DEALERS Had a wonderful trip over—some what adventurous—we will have lots to tell you. Was so pleased to really arrive in France. And what a wonderful place this is. It is just like stepping out of a story book, we have taken over old hotels. We have a park around our house and the main chateaux and there are the most charming baths We have a little pond with the dearest white swans in it and the girls say there are deer in the park. I haven’t seen them as yet. But it is a wonder ful place to stroll and enjoy nature. “Have a spring of mineral water right on the grounds. As yet I do not really enjoy drinking it however, “Last night we returned from a near by camp where some of we girls were sent to establish a base hospital, worked very hard and experienced the hardships of existing conditions in France. “I was much surprised to find the unit of orderlies that left Camp Greene there. The boys were glad to see us as we were to see them, (It is be lieved that the men referred to are the forty-five orderlies who were sent from the Camp Greene base hospital on July “We start our real tours of duty to morrow. It will be rather monotonous as we have but a few patients. “We plan to go down to the village this afternoon to buy some candy sricks and to see if we can £et any chocolate. We cannot go to the village without a pass. “Bicycle riding is the chief form of amusement here but I have not par ticipated as yet. I wish they used side cars. “Be sure and remember me to the Camp Greene nurses that remain. “Yours, “CHRISTINE M. MURPHY, “Base Hospital No. 44, A. E.
