Dear Folks:
I am perched up on the end of a
bunk writing this letter. We have
been in sight of land all day but don't
expect to land until tomorrow some
time. We will have to carry our rolls
and barracks bags ashore and they
are rather heavy. We have had
pretty good time coming over; had
the dishes all off the table and broke
the most of them. I got little sick
out am all right now. Had a little
detail work to do each day and was
able to do it,
We had a chance to buy stuff on
the boat and I had some money so
got along all right.
There is not much to write but
quite lot to tell when l get back.
Keep on farming and raise some
stuff to feed us and we will be back
some time and help you farm.
From your son,
Homer Leonard.

Dear Father and Mother and all the
loved ones at home in the dear u. S.
A:
I am in England now, but not for
long. We landed safe and sound and
took the train for Liverpool about
midnight and rode until ten or half
past a. m. SO we saw quite a bit of
this country. This is sure some
country. Queerest cars you ever
saw. They are small, not half SO
long as ours, and you go in at the
side. They are just like the old
stage coaches, four wheels and the
seats and doors are just the same.
There were 27 of them in our train.
This is great stock country and
most of the cattle are my kind,
Shorthorns, of course. There are lots
of sheep and horses, too. They are
great farmers here all right. Every
inch of ground is growing something.
There are some larger grain fields
than in Vermont. The hay and
grain is nearly all stacked and they
are all true as a die. Some are
round and some are square but
everything is done in shape. All the
buildings here are eitherbrick or tile.
| have hardly seen a wooden build
ing. We are just outside the city
and a squad of us were down last
night and came back on street car.
They are almost like ours, only you
can ride on top and most of the con-
ductOrS are women.
I had bath for three pennies, six
cents in our money. | am getting SO
can make change in this stuff now.
The. only trouble is I have not got
enough of it.
There are some Australian troops
here and thew are nice fpl lows and
talk good language so you can un-
derstand it. We are camped in
tents now, ten men in a tent. |
sleep with a cook SO [ get enough to
eat, perhaps too much, but am still
well, however.
The weather is lots warmer here
than at Westfeld. We sleep on the
floor now, but that is better than the
ground.
You would laugh to see some of
the queer things they do and the way
they do them. Everything is left
handed and they salute with the left
hand.
What are you all doing in Ver-
mont now? When I get home I shall
tell you some of the biggest stories
you ever heard.
Well, I am we'll and having a pret-
ty good time now so don't worry and
l will be home and see you all some
time
Tell all the folks to write to me-.
From your loving son,
Homer.
