Sunday, May Goth 1918.

SUNDAY, May Lotn 1919.
My Dear Mother:-Your letter dated
April 81 came today and I was sure glad
to lear from you, for your last letter
was a little discouraging, but this one
smoothed things over in good shape. ]
knew it would turn out this way because
you have always been my friend in cv-
| erything else and | knew you would be
this.
We are now allowed to tell the folks
at home where we are located in France.
We are now in Nantes about 40 miles
from the coast. 1t is q city of about
300, 600 people, | think; looks very much
like Charleston in some respects, espe-
cially the buildings; they are all very
old, some of them are actually falling
down from age. The streets are very
narrow, all paved with cobblestones;
some places there are no sidewalks; all
are very narrow-from two to three
feet wide in most places.
The funniest thing l see is the wood
en- shoes worn by the poor class Of peo-
pie, just made of a chunck of wood and
look like little canoes. The people here
drink wine just as the people in Amer
lea do coffee or milk. Ice cream is I'M
known; haven't seen any since l left
the states; NJ soda Notwithstanding
but wine rooms and they are about ev-
cry other door.
Our barracks here are fine, have good
beds, the buildings are built of concrete
and cement floors, have a firstclass bath
with shower baths, hot and cold water,
Our grub is good enough, | guess it is
as good as could be expected.
The nearest | have been to church is
right now. There is a bunch of Negro
troops here and one of them is a preach
er, so they are having preaching in the
mess hall. Of course it can be heard
all over the camp and then some. The
reason | haven't been to church is that
| can't understand anything they say;
however, it might do me good if l would
go and just look n | have a pretty
hard time getting by" here, but a lot
of fun. Can't even say "howdy' to
n when | pass them on the street,
simply my hand and grunt.
haven't heard from any one but you
and my girl since | came here. Got
your letter and hers the same day. Did
she write to you? In an old letter she
wrote me at Camp Merritt, N. j., said
she was going to write you. The letter
followed me oven as | only stayed in
Camp Merritt two days
l have written all | can think Of, SO
here's hoping that you and all the rest
are well and that | will hear from you
often. Don't worry about me because
I'm going to stayalstraight, also I'm
coming back. Give all the folks my
love. Your loving son,
Homer.
