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. We have been on the line

tend with. 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.
