I study English with a young American lady who has come here with her lit tie baby to spend the summer I draw @ good deal. I make one sketch a day either water color or crayon, for sure 1y l want to become an artist, and tthen l study French with a college professor.
 It is fair and warm, every one is happy and this bright weather and particularly because the news from the war is so good, thanks to the brave Americans who fight so well.
 Mamma and l are wondering what we are going to do in October Can non are laundering all the time at Paris, hence it seefns almost impos- lsible for us to return. We should always be anxious when one of us went out. 1 think that I shall go to lVarne, which is an hours journey from lhete by steamboat. I am going to Ftake one or two private lessons a week. thank you very much for your letter, for I am always very hap
 py when l receive letters from Amer
 ica.
 If you have any relatives or friends
 in France in the army you might give
 them our address, for near. us arc
 urge camps of American soldiers. If
 they ever come into one of these
 camps. we should be happy to have i l1StA COAtS IO ScS us,
 I beg you, dear mademoiselle, tC
 give my grateful and affectionate re-
 eards to all the members of your as
 sociation.
