LETTER FROM SCOTLAND.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. b. Allen are In re
ceipt Of the following letter from their
grandson, Ed Winters, who is now I'm
the navy. The letter was written from
somewhere In Scotland, on the 18th of
November. Mr. Winters at one time
lived with his parents over near NeZ
Perez. He completed a four-year en-
listment and re-enlisted from Racine,
Wis, for the duration Of the war: The
letter I'm part is as follows:
Dear Grandparents:
After so long time will write you
few lines, and am trusting In God
that this finds you all well, as 1t leaves
me in very good spirits, with the ex-
ception that l am laid up with cut
on my head, which happened to me
yesterday. trust you
will not be surprised at my being on
this side of the sea. AS / do not write
you very often, it might appear to you
that | do not think of you, but you
will see from this that things are diff
ferent
Il wrote home two or three times,
but have not received an answer as yet.
but trust l will hear from some one
soon. l am hoping to see France be-
fore returning home-which is Racine.
Wis, just for the duration of the war.
Saw my dear father and mother; God
knows how | felt; did not tell them of
my signing up for this war.
THE people on the other side of the
sea do not realize there is war going
on, but as soon as you step on this
side there Is a big difference. When
old Fritz drops his deadly bombs from
the sky and you can feel the ground
shake for 10 or 20 miles around, and
see the aircraft guns at work, you or
anyone else would think of a hiding
place.
"The weather is fine here; no frost
as yet, nor any snow. Am trusting
to hear from you soon."
Mr.. Winters has brother, Wesley,
stationed at Jarvis, Texas, in the ar
tillery branch Of the service, and Mr.
Allen also had a very interesting letter
from him, which goes to show that his
grandsons are following in his foot
steps in keeping up the military record
of the family. Mr.. Allen was In the
Indian war, above Fort Washta, In
PauPs Valley, Texas.
