Dear Ur.cie:
It gives me n great deal of

lantly laid down thoir liven, near
the place where 1 am now. pos-
sibly through iheir death, living
’ in peace and quietness.
I am now stationed near Bor-
deaux, which is one of the oldest
towns of France, and has a pop-
ulation of two hundred and fifty
thousand. It certainly is an in-
teresting place to visit. We are
not permitted to visit it now,
due to the fact that we are
under orders to sail for the IJ.
S. A , hut we were stationed
r.ear here once before, and then
we could go whenever we cared
j to. I visited several places of

! them 1 shall briefly mention and
describe. For instance: I was
i there last Friday and visited the
Tower of St. Andre. This tower
was started in the 14th century
and was under construction for.
perhaps, one hundred and lift}
years. It stands more than two
hundred and fifty feet in height,
arm is so constructed as to fur-
nish places in the wall to be
; used for the defense of the city.
