We had a couple of heavy frosts but
tie rain is cold and dreary. Talk
about scarcity Of wood and coal. We
get a couple hundred pounds of each
issued to US day and it's measured
out too. The peasants have small
pieces of timber and they use the
shrubbery for their wood. doubt If
they have coal.
Have sold my camera as it is i'm
possible to get film developed unless
I send it to Paris, and to buy my own
outfit would cost too much.
Receive the papers you send me.
Other people send us the latest pa
pers so find plenty of general news
but not much local so send me the
home papers each week.
Yes, Well know how to darn and
sew all right. do all my own as far
as possible. This is some campaign
! We have to have our clothes pressed
and shoes polished for inspection but
we have no place to keep them in that
condition
Am not allowed to mention the
names of the places we came thru
Our trip here seemed short as time
passed quickly.
Tell Van Dyke we didn't have time
to become Johnny Bulls and what we
saw of them was poor impression
as compared with these noble French
men. We certainly will become Poll
les. Our greatest ambition is to learn
their lingo.
Nov. 9. 1917.
We get the latest papers over here.
They are printed in Paris and we get
them in the evening for that. All the
latest news from home and abroad
1t is correct and official dope too as
nothing but facts are printed. Other
wise they wouldn't get by the censor
and it would be waste of paper. The
papers are the Army edition of the
New York Herald" "The Chicago
Tribune" and the London Daily
News" Magazines are a little scarce
because of the mail I believe. Thu
people in U. S. are putting on one cen
stamps on their papers and sending
them to US so we expect them eacl
day.
We are allowed to send article,
! home now so I'll send you some sow
enirs in the near future which will al
! so be Christmas present too. II
have a big surprise for you all OF
Christmas day. Watch and see.
The weather is not very cold her
but it rains continuously so it is we
7 and sloppy. We've had only fe,
J frosts and no snow.

paper and like it very much. My letter

Now + will write to you about Spring.
1t is never very cold here in winter and
Spring comes very early. The apricot
tree seems to be earliest, and blooms In
March, but very soon after the snow
ball. lilac and tulip. There are no wild
flowers here. because 1t is mostly sand
and desert, but very late In the season
the mountains are covered with bloom
ing cactus. TIL beautiful meadow larks
stay here all winter and sing all the
time. There are many little ponds and
lakes. and the wild ducks and geese
stay around them. We have seen SOME
Of the most beautiful blue birds, which
we have never seen before. They are as
blue as the sky. The mountains are
close by, while here and there are little
springs, which flow all the time. 1t Is
very beautiful in the summer.-Ella
