France Rainy Most of Time, Says Floyd
Wilfore-AppIeeiate Y. M. z. A.

MIR. and Mrs. Allie Wilfore of tins
place have received two interesting lei
tiers from their son, Floyd, within lfw
days. both written from France, the Tor
mer Nav | and the latter May Il. lie
also enclosed the program of a Minister
show, called the Tank Center mn'
strels. put on in the \. NJ. 9. A. hut
NAV o, to which he refers in both letters
Dear Mother; The days work is me
again. so will write you letter. The >
is not much to write. just the same old
thing. About all that | can say Is ih3'
/ am feeling we'll But then know that
YOU are glad TO get a letter from me
even il that is all that there is in y
know what 1t is TO go without my mail
for a long time. I didn't get any for
three months. Some time 10 wait, but
] had TO stand IL.
II didn't rain more than two days last
week That is something worth mention
ing in France. II looked pretty nice
out this morning, so | started out with
( out my raincoat About noon il started
| raining and was out in II all of the
afternoon. Got pretty wet, but | have
/ dry clothes on now, so | feel fine.
was out at French farmhouse last
night with three other fellows. | haven't
learned to "parlez Vous" much yet. but |
can understand quite Bit so ! get along
fairly we'll II certainly is hard stuff
10 learn.
There WAS an entertainment here in
the Y. NJ. G. A. Saturday night and one
of the girls in il is from Malone, n. Y.
You know ! have heard dad speak about
Malone lots of times. OF course he
wouldn't know this girl, though, it has
hzon lnnef Cfp,a ha has hnat, thara
have forgotten what her name is any
way.
They are having another rehearsal for |
minstrel show here and it is so noisy |
that it is pretty hard to write. Gee. Il |
is getting pretty interesting. so think
that | will close this letter and listen |
to the singing. Floyd.
Dear Mother: Well, it is May II and |
mothers day, as of course you know, so
| am trying to write you letter. II
is awfully hard to write letter here,
though However, | am trying TO write
something so that you can say that your
boy wrote you letter mothers day.
| went to the morning service in the
Y. M. c. A. this morning and this even
ing / went TO French Catholic church.
The services in the Catholic church here
are about the same as in the states, only |
of course everything is in French, so that
we can't understand anything.
We had a baseball game this after
noon against Co. A. We won very east
ly, 0 TO 2. 1t wasn't much OF a game
because it had been raining and the ball
was wet. 1t would be something very ,
strange if we had day here without 6
rain. Especially on Sunday when we I
have little time off, it seems always G
to rain. &
was pretty busy all the forenoon, /
washing my clothes. / am getting so
used to doing my own laundry all of the I
time that | think / will insist upon do t
ing it myself when | get home. / may f
change my mind, though. t
There was minstrel show here in the t
Y. N. G. A. last week Just to show you a
what the "Y" does for us fellows over n
lere, | am going to send you one of the t
programs. 1t certainly was a fine show. !
never in my life saw anything of its |
,ind better. p
| suppose it must be pretty dull and
Iuiet in the little old town now. / used S
o be with some of the boys when first t
anne over, but none of them are with t
lie now. But | trust that /, will see q
hem all sometime. 1t just takes a lit t
lie patience to wait for that time to t.
ONE. a
Will bring this TO close now. 1t isn't II
much, mother but guess it will go for j
letter anyhow, won't it? Floyd.
