FROM HAROLD DE M0TTE
Somewhere in England.

April 20, 1y1S.a
Dear Friend:
Your long and newsy letter of
March 8 just received on the 22nd of
April. Was sure delighted when it
came. 1t was a long time on the road.
You exclaimed about the 5000 miles
that separated us once, but how about
it now? Nearly 5000 now, isn't it.?
Just think of it. boy. some distance.
Ell? The old. bare, sagebrush-covered
mountain in Nevada would look pretty
good to me, although | am in a beau
tiful country now. There was a Ger
tain charm about the sagebrush and
rocks that one notices more when
they are away: sort of makes one
want to go back.
Wish | could tell you more about
my trips, but remember the censor.
Am near a large city here and can go
to town .any evening or Saturday
afternoon, if | like. | enjoy the movie
many a night after a hard day al the
aerop1anes. | am mounting guns or
the scout aeroplanes and like the
work fine. Turned out n machine
today and am starting on another.
which will be out tomorrow.
This was a beautiful day and there
was lots of flying done. Say. it's great
to fly, believe me, and the stunts they
do are wonderful. Makes shivers run
up and down your spine. sometimes,
when they do a turn and a fellow is
nearly standing on his head.
Great Scott, but hat is awful about
that fire that destroyed the Fl Dorado.
| can hardly realize that it has hap
pened, because / remember the big.
fine building as plainly as if | saw
it yesterday. 1t must have been a
terrific fire. Winnemucca must be
Thoroughly awakened to the fact that
she needs an efficient fire department
War bread is great stuff, isn't it?

appointed a few times if they expect
it to raise up light like a sponge. It
