From North Africa By special requests from friends here and in Franklin we are pub lishing another interesting letter] from Edward Potts to his i*aren.ts, Mr. knd Mrs. C. C Potts. The letter was written January 14th from "somewhere in North Africa." I )ear Mom and Dad : Here 1 am in tjie land of sunshine and citrus fruits- again. For though the terrain as moun tainous, Hie climate is much the same as that of Florida or Cali fornia. And of course oranges, tangerines, dates and figs are plentiful. It's a treat to be able to get those things again, since fruit was scarce as 'hen's teeth' where we formerly were. And be lieve rt or inot, sunshine a-s well, so now we all bask and bake at every opportunity. The native Arabs or Moslems are just as wicked to look at as any novel or movie could picture them. It's good to 'have them as aJlies. As I haven't visited a harem yet, and probably never will, I can't say much about the women, except they are veiled, and from all accounts, tales, etc., they ar,e the one thing to steer clear of. They are just as private as can be and belomg* wfiolly to the Arab men. Many of the. people are French, ! and that's the language I'm* hav ing so much trouble learning. I have a ?ood base in Latin ; and am just able to make them under stand me if the can grasp a little English along with my 'pidgeon' French. How,ever, I hope to im prove with time. Mom, your letter written about Thanksgiving was my first since arnivinig here. I think there could be a better snapshot than the one you sent. iWhy don't you and Dad have some made just to send 'way over here' to me? I 'sho' would like that. As for cigarettes, they are scarce again, and it would be nice if you would continue send ing them to me. Also soap, even if water is scarce I can use soap ^occasionally. About water ? here they think it will rust their stom ach, or something, and they sub stitute wine. I'm leading a fairly easy and comfortable life and enjoying the experiences of new and unusual customs and characters. Sometimes it's* -a varied and interesting way to live. Hoping this finds you enjoying the best of health ? and best re gards to my friends. Your son, EDWARD. Everett Mashbuiw is home from Gaston ta with his family.
