presume tie n7vslty Of the minute DE-
tails & the country we are permitted

/ also received sisters letter the
ether day and ] was indeed a grateful
recipient Of sarae-you car not imag.
me how much help mail is 10 bows
over here
read sn article psblished in one Of
the American magazines that mail
produced home-sekuess among the
troops here, and that the home-folks
should not write so much. / sincerely
trust that that has not been circulated
too much for the author is surely or.
roneous IN his belief. Were there no
mail the boys would lose the greater
part Of their pep and enthusiasm. 50
keep up the good work.
The package Of cigars and tobacco
was received in good condition. and
same IS being enjoyed while I am
writing.
We are having delightful weather
warm days and cool nights. | believe
that this will predominant the entire
summer in this locality at least.
Yesterday we played ball and I really
suffered from the heat. I played a
strenuous position-behind the bat.
Sunday week ago a number Of us
climbed to the top of the highest hill
IN this vicinity and it was indeed 3
dandy little hill. l called it a Young
mountain before we reached the ton,
The view was wonderful from that site
OF vantage. From one side | counted
eight towns. The landscape around
here is very rolling and high hills arc
numerous. This beauty is added to
be spring fed brooks-rivers they are
called here.
The water around here is very fine
and in fact is the best water obtaina.
bic is produced here. Much of it ba,
been sent to the States.
This is indeed an ideal place for a
summer resore which it is, and a bet
ter location for a hospital could never
be found. The hotels serve the pur-
pose wonderfully and the parks are an
excellent asset.
am getting along fine in every
respect. Getting plenty to eat-in
fact, | am getting fat, having gained
eighteen pounds since / have beer
here and in addition to that | have
cultivated a nice little mustache, 50
! can't complain of anything; other
than home-sinckness in the evenings.
Other times | don't have time for that
as we are kept pretty busy.
] haven't CHANGED to meet any Of the
boys from Mexico here yet, but this is
quite a large country when looking for
friends.
j have met two boys who / knew in
Iowa. But If having TO meet my
friends in hospital wards is the only
way, ] would greatly prefer their alb
Fence until we reach the dear old U.
S. A..
Tell the boys that they won't find
this country nearly so bad as they
may think. There is plenty Of space
here where Germans are not TO be
found and where peace and happiness
seemingly dominate. So they will be
able TO enjoy the company of fair
mademoiselle without being interrupt
ed by the Boches at least.
Extend TO all Of my Mexico friends
my very best regards and to you, dear
folks, worlds and oceans Of love; don't
worry. Your loving son,
CLARENCE CAMPBELL.
