writes from Franco under dute of Sept,

Dear Mother and all: Having ar
rived safe In France a few days ago,
I thought I would write you a few
lines to let you know that I am well
and getting along Just fine.
We are having quite a little rain at
present.
The trip across the Atlantic was
very pleasant and I enjoyed It very
much, tho I was kept quite busy the
entire time, for we had a Httlo sickness
aboard ship, especially sea sickness.
I was fortunate enough not to get sea
sick. The ocean u.i.i quite smooth
most of the way across.
After we landed h -te, we went pn
four-mile hike to the camping and personal property inside the city
grounds, where we put up our tents limits. The resignation of H. S. Eddy
and are now living in thorn. It's a lit
tle inconvenient at times, especially
when It rains. On o.ir hike we passed
French children, som-? wearing wooden
shoes. They would follow the boys
begging for pennies, cigarettes and
chewing gum. When we were eating
our lunch, they would come around
and beg for something to eat, and pick
up the cracker crumbs. What the
French nation has gone thru! They
always have a smile for the Ameri
cans. Every inch ot ground that we passed
so far Is under cultivation, buf don't
see any tences like in the Ut S.'A., but
embankments covered with vinos and
trees. The houses are built of stone,
With love and best wishes.
