lines will reach you in due time and

some great place. The people are
$50 kind and seem to think that the
Americans are all of it. All they
raise is truck Of all kinds and lots
of wheat, barley, rye and grapes.
So you can judge from that what
we have for refreshments. We can
also buy milk and butter or most
anything we want to eat Gee, we
sure do live funny here. Wood is SO

city. Nevertheless, this is great
life, an | like it just fine. / haven't
learned to speak French yet, but we
have a fellow with us who can speak
French as good as he can English.
So therefore, we are able to buy most
anything that we want. You asked
me about plenty to eat. You need not
worry about that, for we even get
jam, jelly, cake, etc.
Don't you think you was mistaken
when you said the Americans would
never be able to cross the sea. /
told you they would, and they have;
and thanks to God, thew are all happy
to be here, and are willing and ready
to do their bit.
