Somewhere in France, Sept. 22. 1918
Dear friend:
"How are you and the firm and its
pstrons, getting along these September
days? l would sure like to see all the
old bunch. l am getting along fine and
enjoying the sights of France. and
they are many. This is certainly a fine
country. something like our own in
that respect. There are large parks,
but the farms are small and close to-
gether and most of them have black
berry bushes for hedge fences. The
railroads and drives are lined with
these hedges, which are beautiful in
the summer time. The berries are
now ripe and have been for a month,
so we have plenty of blackberry pies
and cobblers on our bill of fare. We
are getting an abundance of good eats
and / am getting heavier all the time
I'VE are bilIeted in fine little town

five men and am in full charge OF them

they will do anything for me. We
have fine major adjutant and every
body is happy. Sergeant May and my
self are rooming together. We have
two rooms and two nice French beds
TO sleep on. II there is a chance to
do so am going to bring my bed back
to the States when the war is over.
The French people believe in sleeping
comfortably They have a big, thick
feather mattress to lay on and l sink
way down in mine. They have lighter
one to go over the top. instead of
quilts. The beds are very high and
draperies come down the sides from
the ceiling and when l wake up in the
morning all I can see is the ceiling;
having sunk so far down in the feath-
ers during the night
"The French people are certainly as
nice as they can be and they think the
Americans are just it. They can't do
enough for us. They would gladly go
hungry to see us have what we want
There are many interesting sights to
be seen around here and many things

duty one can see them with their little

French families have at least one good
