Below we give letter which was
received by Mrs. J. N. Bell from her
nephew, Bernard Slocumb who is with
the army in France. Bernard is the
oldest son of Rev. L. V. Slocumb and
wife, of Nebraska, former Dow CITY

to young manhood in this vicinity,
and has many friends who will be very
much interested in reading the letter
which is as follows:
Somewhere in France, Oct. IS, II.
My Dear Aunt Maud:
Got your letter today and believe
me l sure read every word couple
of times as news is rather scarce
here. A fellow sure does enjoy a
letter when it does come. Have re-
ceived only eight the last two months
and / know them by heart now and
can nearly say them backwards. How
is everybody in Dow City? Sure would
like to be back in Gods county, Just
for Tonight" You asked me if l got
sea-sick coming over Well, l never
have been sick since have been in
the army. Never felt better in my
life | was little wobbly the first
day or two but soon got over that
any enjoyed myself the rest Of the
way. Got along a whole lot better
than | thought | would. Was great
trip. Would have been better if we
hadn't been on needles all the time.
This is the second time ] have written
this letter as the censor cut out a
bunch of it, so will have to tell it
when l get back instead OF writing
it. They will not let US write very
interesting letter for fear it might get
into the wrong hands. The French
people are just great. They treat us
swell, but it is rather hard to fully
appreciate a race of people without
understanding their language. Am
picking up quite a little Of the lingo
now and am putting in quite a little
time on it. Can get anything l want
in the restaurants and canteens, but l
would be in hard luck if it were dark
or my hands were cut Off. This is a
real pretty country. Can see noun
tains on all sides Of us and it is sure
great. Sure will have enough talk
saved up to talk you all to death when
l get back. Have been talking to a
bunch OF fellows who have just come
from the lines and they sure can talk.
sWell,aI will write a. better letter.~as
soon as they will let me. but at pre-
sent this is the limit. Hoping to hear
from you soon, | remain,
Your nephew,
Bernard.
