tMmr Mother:
I am now in another nk-e city, hav
inp been here now alxiut five days,
don't expect to be here long. In fact
I'm a*Kijrned to fjo out on construction
noi\ It's a bitr job an*3 will probably
be there for several months- From
reports that I hear I'm to have a very
nitre and interesting job.
I was down town last nitrht and vis
ited a famous old cafe and saw lots of
things that were new to me.
Oh, yes, an interesting thing hap
pened yesterday., A friend and 3 went
down town to get a bath. We went
in a place and the lady was jabbering
away in French to a Frenchman and
my friend says: ''Henderson, you t*13
her what we want; I'll leave this
French stuff to yov." When 3 was
about ready to use my best French
she said: "IJo you gentlemen want
baths?" She had lived several year-
in New*York. We all had a good laugh
over it.
I have been working :n the drafting
room most of the tin < since I've been
here, but day before y-kterday I went
over to make some p.';,its and found
that the Sergeant in charge of the
room was an old cla- - mate of mine
from 0. S. U.
-Well, thi> is the third pen I've tried
on this letter. Guess I'll jret one that
will work soon.
Our organization has not received
any mail yet, but we expect some soon.
Hope you are all happy and well and
when I come back I'll have lots to teil
you. If I stay over here very long,
however, 3*11 be using my hands and
shoulders to talk with, just like the
French do.
With love,
WALTER.

while, you see. I hope, though, every-
one has been going on about as they
should and that all of you are enjoy-
ing health and life in general
Now, Mamma, you don't need to
worry about roe for I am not in the
habit of having anything wronr v.ith
me and I seem to be just about a s well
off in France as in tlic U. S. Of
course, 3'd like to spend a week end
back in the States one in awhile, but
111 take my vacation all at once when
the war is over I guess. Give my re

what you think I would tell them if
I were there.

P. S.—French stationery-; what do
you think of it?
On Active Service Somewhere in Eng-
land. March 7, 1918.
Dear Mother:
I promised to write every week, but
I failed to write last week; it seemed
as though I never had time, but I just
didn't take it. I guess. Some of the
boy* got mail this week, but I haven't
jrot any yet. though I expect to get
*ome next week. I think that the
<|uickest time a letter came to this
bunch wa« in 'JH 'lays, so you see how
lontr it takes for mail to get from
there to here. VNV had a very nice
trip aero** the Pond. I was seasick,
but I expected that when I got on the
boat.
I ha -e traveled quite a bit since I
left home and have seen lots of beau-
tiful country and >-ome that I wouldn't
have as a jrift. England sure is a
pretty country but I don't like the cli-
mate; it's wet, but they sure have fine
stock here, *heep and cattle. I've only
seen a ft v. hog*. I've been to Liver-
Dear Homefolks:
Well, this has been another busy
week for me. I am kept so busy that
the weeks slip right along and I 3iard-
ly know when Sunday comes. Since
3 think about it, I believe today is
Sunday.
I am located in a small peaeant
town and there are only six Americans
in the place. Since I have to know
fcome French to tret along, I am learn-
ing a little. I've had little time to
study it, but I'm learning a few words
each day. We are located very com-
fortably, indeed, sleeping in real beds
and hiivinjr the finest eats you can
imagine. On top of all thai, we are
having spring weather. I'm looking
forward to summer time for there are
immense vineyards and a great many
fruit tree*. I think 3 will enjoy the
grape:> more than I do the wine.
In the upper left hand corner of
thi1? page is a flower picked in ojr
yard. I hepe it is fresh and
nice when it reaches you. It is five
centimes, or one sans. It is equivalent
a!ue to one cent. This is the small-
est coin in common use, although they
make one centime pieces.
Ail the French method.1; are very
slow in comparison with the way we
do things ni America. For instance,
they use a 'art and one horse to haul
stuff, and if it is too much for one
horse, they hitch the extra one in the
front. Sometimes you see four horses
one behind the other, hitched to one
small cart.
There are lota of things I'd like to
tell you about, but the censor might
object.
With love,
WALTER.
