42 PORING THE LAST WAR
| Edward Potts Writes .
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.
