It's the first t i ) i nave ever seen any of the Pendle j ton boys and Jim is close to here. I expect to see him In a few days, but mo jireseui ume we nave not much time to write or see anyone as we are kept pretty 'busy working and travel ing.

My Dear Sir: It has been on my mind for some time to write you a few. lines and iet you know where I am and a few things about this land nf Franco First, personally, I have been in ex cellent nealtn, and have been on dutv every day sinco I came over. The company I beloneed- to nf the Oregon regiment came here te Tours, France, nearly eieht months a?n ami for four months we were all together, but orders came for the company to leave for training and part of us were transferred to Headauarters Servii-u of Supplies,- and I was lucky or un- mcityr which ever you may consider one of those thai remained -behind Also two other Morrow county buys that left in the same contingent thai I did, they are Robv Simcnx and .Tnc, McMillan. The old company were in training for a short Unit only, when they were sent to the front, and many of them were killed and wmmHori but from' the reDorts we eet here thev all made a fine record. At presea. we are all prettv well settled. i am now assigned to the new Ar my Postal and Express Service and am traveling on the trains as a mail courier. Like the work verv much although we have such things as staying up mi night with hardlv days ago and must say I was glad to I hear from you. You know mail is the i life of fellows In the army, they sure' Ty',sup m nlght with har(1: , look for it and annreciate it when it Btndin& "om on the trains to con comes. I j We have had plenty of big exper-J ience this last two weeks and have to ' be on the move most of the time. We are now in a town that was the scene of big fighting about ten days ago but , they are gone now never to return to this place.

Quite different from the Job 1 had last summer of pulling a long line on a bunch of combine mules, or juggling wheat bags, but we are all satisfied and are glad to do our bit. Early last spring I met J. W. Mot ley, one of the H. H. S. teachers. He i wa one of those daring aviators and has gone to the front by now. Also heard from Alva Jones, but he has now gone somewhere from his old camp as I have not heard from him for months. Have heard that there are many more Morrow county boys over here but have never seen them. We have plenty of high class en tertainment and movies given by the v. m. (.. A., also a fine Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, as well as a great many otner organizations that are doing a lot for the boys to make them feel at home, and we can only thank' the good people at home for supporting Jail these things for us. The war, ; nnv.s Is vrry good now and seems to ' be in the Allies' favor, lu-.t remember' j we have a hard fight before us yet, ! ; and no one can predict the end. 1 1 , nave ueeu up neur uie rruiit several j times,, so have heard the music of the ; W guns, and expect and. hope to be ' up there to do the real thing soon. Now just a lew lnics about thi? land ever here and the place I am stationed. France in general, what 1 havo seen of it, is very beautiful and historic. The places in the coun try owned or rented by the peasants, are small, and they raise all kinds of crops but on a very small scale. The houses are very old and built of stone and most generally the people live in one end oi the house and have their tarn with the hay stored in the other, as well as their wine. The French are great for wine, and they have it with their meals, the same as vou people have your tea and coffee. They have very little meat, but plenty of vegetables, and no white bread, so they rather thfnk it funny to see us use good white bread. The little city where I am stationed is Tours, popu lation of about one hundred and fifty thousand. Very historic indeed, and it is one of the old battle fields erf- France where many great victories have been won. Have visited a great many cf the old castles, cliatteaus and cathedrals, as well as a fine mu seum of art. .The people in general are very kind to us, and are glad to show .us around, not saying anything . about the beautiful girls, which are plenti ful. This may be an inducement to the boys still in the States, if they hear of it. Well, time Is flying, so must now close. Hope everything Is fine in good old Heppner, and some day we may all get together again for a high old time, and you can all deDend on the Morrow county boys to give a good account of themselves when they go over the top. Heard some thing of quite a fire in Heppner. Very unfortunate if true and you can all be assured of our sympathy, and would do anything we could to help in time of need. May victory soon be ours and may God be with us all. I remain, one of Morrow county's boys in France. CORP. HENRY E. PETERSON. Hdqrs. Bn, Co. ., S. 0. S., A, P. 0. 717, A. E.
