you. I thought sh? was looking very
well but much thinner than she was
some time ago. She said that she had
had some very great experiences dur
ing her Btay over here. I wonder of WH
liam has eve^ gotten in the army yet.
I would like to see him, And I know he
is atptious to $et here.
I received a letter from Papa yes
terday written on Sept. 18th.?Just ex
actly one month a*o. I also received
one from my girl three or four days
ago written on SepC 2$th.
v You made a good guess on the date
of our arrivel over here. The cards
got to you sooner thaiK.1 expected.
Tucker had a letter from Miss Onnie
last ntftht stating that she mot you and
Asna Belle lh front of the
Baptist church and that' you
all had a good laugh as well
aa cry over the good news. \ am
glad to hear that you and Anna Belle
are helping the local board out during
tho next registration. I am also glad
Ur hear that you have become an ao.
/live member of The local Red Croaa
Chapter. You couldn't devote your
spare time to a better thing. Nothing
can be in behalf of the Red Cross
organization that is too good for it.
They are surely doing their part over
here.? ?
It is beginning to get a little coole
herp now nnH T am beginning to reqllge
that winter is not bo far off. I do hopo
it wont be as cold here as it was at
home last year. I don't see how it
can, because It rains too often. an(*
they say that it doesn't rain muj?h In
cold weather and I know its obliged to
rain every day or it wouldn't be France
but there is one thing about the wea
ther here, it doesn't rain long at a time,
its very much like the April ::howers
w? haveat home, i Hope that yuu have
plenty of coal for the winter and wont
be bothered with the fuel question
again this year. I will be* glad when
we can all gather around the fire ih
your room ?.nd read, talk and sleep
Something on the order of a rainy
Sunday afternoon, maybej.it wont be
lo|ig before this dream comes true.
I haven't run up on anybody that \
know in som,* time. I am hoping every
day that T will b?* fortunate enough
to run up on some of the fellows fromI
homo. There are several fellows in!
our unit who have located their broth-'
efrs since they've been here. I doh't real
ize that I Lm so far from home, a-d
am glad T don't, because I hate to think
of having to cross the pond again. I
never was very fond of water and I r?m
-more disKustefl now than ever. '
Give me real estate all the time..
We have a little French hoy with us
now that we call our mascot. He is
only Beven years old, but is as bright i
as a new dollar. We had him standing |
up in a chaJr a few minutes ago sing- I
ing some of the popular French songs.
It was oertAin'y great to hear him
sing "llaJl. Hail, the Gang's all Here." |
Thl? song coems to hav$ taken with 1
.the French peopla and most all of j
,them know it. This little fellow wears
l wooden shoes without stockings and i
H very thinly clad, but he looks as hap
py and healthy as any American boy
I ever sp v. We took him to the bar
tod -y and had his hair cu.t. He
' m, a.ed to appreciate It very much, and
(when we took him home his father aiih j
.mother liked to have gone wild. I real
Ily like the French people, of course
there are some who make it a practice j
to stick every American soldier they
can. They seem to think we all have
plenty of money and if you don't watch |
thetn they will certainly stick you. |
Of course this is the very lowest class
of Frenchman.
