Mrs. Treecy Hampton received
three letters from her son, Luther,
who is in France One on the 18th of
this month, and the other two on the
18th. His letters are very interesting
and nothing in them to make one think
he was not well treated and enjoying
himself. He says the French people
think the American boys great. He
also says he can speak little of the
French language, but the hardest
thing for him to learn was the value
of their money. France is beautiful
country, he writes, and to see the
beautiful flowers and hear the birds
chipping and singing among the trees,
it is hard to realize that there is a war
going on. He says he has lots of fun
and in one letter he stated he was liv-
ing in house and at that time eating
from q table, which he was enjoying
very much and considered it quite q
treat. Naturally, he longs for home
and mother, but says he will stick or
die for his country and his people.
He has recently been transferred TO a

much pleased with.
