Remalard. 81 France. August 2S.ss
Mr.. and Mrs. Jrome Baker, ~
Greeley, Iowa. n !.
Dear Grandpa and GrandmR: I3.;
I'm still here in spite sof the war,
your cables and all. i would like
mighty well to be. on the way home
but I'm waiting for Fred and, he seem
to think there Isl mo danger. This
war has been quite an sexperienceator
| me, although II haven't been Eerynea
it, Guess Fred win have some thing:
to tell when hes gets home. He was
right down where he could hear their
cannons; etc "a But 2I did not realize
that there was a war until I went to
Conde and aNogent the other day,
where simply thousands :Of wounded
and lying passed in the morning, and
to think that those trains are very
few in comparison with all the others
going through France carrying the
wounded also. II was at the station
when two train loads Of fresh soldier:
went through on their way to the
front. They seemed happy at the
gloomy outlook. 4. shouldn't imagine
IT. would cheer them much to see an
other train load Of wounded going
thes opposite direction. It's just like
going to the slaughter house, @ with
the modern means of carrying on war
fare. Nearly every home in Frnace
sends some member and there are
surely some anxious ones about now !
One young fellow who went through
Nogent had his tongue cut out. The
Germans had taken him prisoner, cut
out his tongue and let him 80. i can
not imagine such q thing possible.
The poor fellow can never talk or.
eat again. In the papers here read
OF the most awful cruel things they.
do every day. Guess they don't stop
for even women and children or any
thing else. We're not feeling much
Of the war down here in r Remalard.
It's very quiet and peaceful so far.
OF course, their time may be. coming.
I was surely worried about Fred while
he was in Belgium, but he got away 4
Just in time. He's in Paris now but
think he will be back in a few days.
Its IA task to travel now. The other
day to come about five miles had to
have two long papers, passports, etc.,
from the mayor. I'm getting to be q
regular Frenchma You should hear
me talk. No, I'm not very sgood at
it, but Il can understand and make
myself understood somehow. I'm sort
Of scared to 60 on the sea, although
n guess there is not much danger on
the Atlantic. The English and the
French are masters SO far. My! I'm
getting fat. One can't wonder at It
when all I do is eat and sleep. They
surely, do have good things to eat
here. Maybe I'll see you all in two
or three weeks maybe. yg. 5
