ed a letter from her son, j. G.. Bell
corporal in Motor Truck Company
No. 4 of the 116th Supply Train, con
corning his travels in the cities of the
east and the landing in France
While the young a does not tel
just why, the living ways of the
French do not satisfy him. New
York and Washington appealed tc
him more, and the statue of liberty
t is the next thing he desires to see
He says that he was detailed to dc
/ some work as their boat approached
the coast of France, and that he wa:
the first of the company to actually
set foot on the enchanted ground
The voyage across was uneventful
for all he says to the contrary, bul
they have been having something tt
do since being in that country.
