We are getting along fine, except
for this damp, rainy weather. Our
camp is growing rapidly and the
French people Of this section seem
to be unusually nice. We have a

down there on Sundays, on Tuesday,

there's always several trains a day

catch one. The trucks went to Paris

of. the month and the weather is aw-
full. I don't expect it to be so pleas
ant this winter in wooden barracks.
This damp, cold weather is fierce and
the old Frenchmen say it sure gets
cold around here in winter. Of
course it looks as though the boys at
the front are going to get US home
before cold weather sets in, but it
will take some time to get this army
back to the old u. S. A. I haven't
been able to see or hear from any
of the :Abbeville boys since I was in
Blois, so I don't know what Mary
Miiford's beau is doing-no doubt
he has lots of madamoiselles and is
learning French by this time, but I
say positively. AS for my
