INTERESTING LETTER
FROM FRANCE

The following is letter written by
Willie Klyce, now in France doing "Y"
work, and which truly expresses pat
riotism:
= September 2, 1918.
Dear Mrs. Thomas and Family:-I
have taken in Liverpool and London,
and am enjoying a while in Paris be-
for going on to some place else. Then
is when my work will start. Can't
tell anything about my new home, for
It's entirely out Of line as to what we
are supposed to write. Had my first
bunch Of mail today and was some hap
Nv to hear from home. | sure enjoy
the sights of this city; even more than
when in London.
Know Miss Mann would enjoy the
flowers here. Prettiest things | ever
saw. and so many kinds never heard
of Tor rather never saw for theymay
call them exactly as we call ours, but
great guns! who could understand
what they are saying. Peddle them by
the loads like our market wagons in
Memphis peddle vegetables. These
people are fine cooks and | want you
to know, we get the best going.
In London we had no sugar, but here
everything is swectened some way.
I've helped in two or three trains OF
wounded soldiers and am looking in
all hospitals and ambulances for Miss
Berda. III take good care of her for
you, and you do the same for me with
mamma.
Seems to NEE all the boys and even
most of TIE girls would want to be
here doing something. / can't conceive
of any healthy man being willing to
sit still and let someone else do his
part. wish Tom and A. j. both would
come. Surely if they could see and
knew of the real state Of affairs that
exist here and all around here, no one
would be willing to stay out OF 1t II ne
could crawl to the station.
I'm so glad I'm here ] don't know
what to do.
Some enlist for six months end some
for twelve, but I'm here for the dura-
ton of the war; be it long or short,
Have seen some horrible sights
since I've been foreigner"
Paris is, Of course, in pitch darkness
and to be walking along the streets at
night, in this mob of people, and hear
ing the stuff they call talk is regular
farce.
To save me, | can't see how they
know what they are saying 20 IKE
a streak of CREASED lightning. They
orc very grateful to an American SOL
der and will leave nothing undone to
help you, and it's hard work to get rid
of one (if you need little help as to
where any place is) and butcher up
enough French to ask. If they can't
make you Understand in words and PIC
lures they viii walk and take you.
Had one to call taxicab to take me
to station the other night atmidnight
and wanted to pay for it.
The wounded boys were coming IN
at 1890 and l was enc Of the bunch
sent to meet them is why ! was lost at
midnight.
Never get out of certain beat
here after supper, fit it's too dark to
lunt your way around and in case OF
an air raid I'd be in it away off from
my shelter.
Guess I'll wind up end go to supper,
so give my best to all the people and
20 to see Mag" for me.
Always your friend,
WILL KLYCE.
