FROM MISS EVA ATWOOD.
q ~ ea ~ NJ NJ "a ~ ~ ;,

The following letter from Miss
Eva Atwood, who is in France was
received by her parents a few days
ago. Miss Eva entered the service
as a nurse several months ago and
was for some time stationed at Camp
Pike:
October 9, 1918.
Dear Home Folks It sure is
hard to get settled here to write.
Our nights are dark so we can't write
after we come off duty. This is a
lovely country. All the roads are
outlined by hedges. The ferns are
as tall as my head. Everybody
wears wooden shoes and slide their
feet along to keep their shoes on.
Grapes, blackberries and pears are
ripe. We are wearing our tall rub
Der boots all the time. 1t rains
every day, but the sun shines toe
sometimes during the day. Don't
lose the last picture sent home
want to frame it when | come back.
When we got here we found two
Pike girls here so there are seven of
US here now. The houses are made
OF gray stone, never see frame
house 1t looks like an old country
alright, the trees are SO big and diff
ferent from ours. was not sea
sick at all. We have good beds and
plenty to eat and it is just exactly
like We expected to find things. We
are entirely surrounded by Americans
only few French workmen around
here and they are either too old or
two young to be in the service.
Everything is SO much like home
we can't realize we are in France
This land is much more fertile than
there, the clover is beautiful and the
flowers are prettier than even hot
house plants. The dalhias are as
large as a plate I'm glad | came.
but will be gladder still when we
get settled. Would like to tell you
all the things you want to know, but
can not. I'll try to never say any
thing to be cut out. Write as often
as you can for I'll always be glad to
hear from home
Later, we are finally settled in our
own Base and feel right at home here.
want to tell you about our train
trip, 1t was SO funny. The French
trains are divided into little rooms
or compartments, eight of US were
in each compartment. They had no
Pullmans, no dining cars nor any
thing like at home. Each little
room opens out doors and are not
connected Our rations were all is
sued before we started SO we had
beans for breakfast and jam for sup
per. 1t was SO funny all the time
We We're three days and nights on
the train and had good time all the
time, only of course we were tired.
Everybody waves at us frantically
just like we do at the troop trains.
All the boys treat US like we were
extra and are SO glad to see US. One
place we stopped some boys came up
to speak and one said he had been
here seventeen months and we were
the second American girls he had
seen. We get the Chicago Tribune
and New York World every day,
yesterdays paper today. We are
right with the American boys and
that is the way We want to be. Hope
| can see Clyde and | surely will
This is a beautiful country, but it
is muddy We put on our gray dres-
ses, rubber boots, raincoats and hats
and go to work I'll stop now and
write again when we get Strengthened
out. My love to you all.
