DIR. HOYT NOW
SEEING ACTION
When Last Letter Was Written
He Was Ready to Start For
the Front.

BY courtesy of Mrs. Mark D. Hoyt,
the Courier is permitted to publish
the remarkably interesting letters
just received last week from her hus-
band in France. Captain Hoyt, who
far many years has been Glasgow's
leading physician, has hosts of friends
and admirers who are more than in
terested in his experiences at the
front.
July 13, 1918.
At last we are in France. Got in
last night about 1880. 1t was a
wonderful sight which l will have to
tell you about when l get home.
We marched about three miles to
camp Napoleon built, and are fixed
up for day or two when we expect
to move for good.
What little of the country l have
seen is very interesting-the boats
with red sails and the people in
wooden shoes. AS we marched up to
camp little tads in wooden shoes and
French military caps who tried to
sing in English, "Hail, Hail, the
Gangs All Here" stood at the road
side.
There are thousands of American
troops here, but you only see old men,
boys and women among the natives.
Any man Of middle life either has
on a uniform or a wooden leg.
We had a wonderful trip across
The sea was like big lake except one
morning it was litsle rough and we
had "a hours of very thick fog when
we went at half speed.
Some of the men were sick. got
trifle dizzy two or three times, but
never nauseated. slept and ate like
the deuce.
We never saw sub. A spar on one
occasion and whale on another gave
us a little excitement, but it fizzled
out.

a lot of colored men and we had plan.

If nominated and elected Mr.
Moore pledges himself unqualifiedly
to support the government in the
prosecution of the war to a victorious
conclusion; to protect the people from
unnecessary high prices and profit

Today is the big French national
holiday. The city is in gala dress and
everybody is in her best bib and tuck
er. The peasant women wear hand
embroidered black dresses with dinky
little white lace caps and large clanky
wooden shoes The men are dressed
in black with ruffled shirts and big
flat velvet hats with two black rib
bons foot long hanging down the
back. The city folks dress as we do.
l haven't seen a good-looking French
woman yet, but may in time.
We haven't heard yet where out
outfits are, but will probably get our
orders in a day or two. Major Catlin
just came in and he told US where
we are going next, but we don't know
when yet. | am sorry that I can't
keep you posted as to our movement
so you could follow me on the map
but that's tabooed.
l slept eleven hours last night and
feel fine today. 1t is raw and colo
and rained hard all night and has
drizzled off and on all day. Howeve,
there is ball game going on just out
side the tent and a bowling mol
watching it, also a band concert by {
colored band.
We have found pretty fair place
to eat, three francs (6Oc) a meal. W.

At last we have reached our desti-
nation and are getting settled. We
left our rest camp the morning of
the 10th, at 1850 and got here at
II p. m. We are at one of the largest
and finest of the French cities. Our
hospital is nearly ready. 1t is about
three miles from the city on very
large and beautiful French estate.
There are three bases in group. No.
II of Chicago and one to come besides
ourselves, No. "a Philadelphia.
We have 81 buildings of which 20
are wards accommodating so beds each,
making 1000. Then there are the
headquarters, administration, nurses
quarters, ETC., all brand new. We are
in long building containing 10 rooms,
corridor down the side and wash
rooms in the center. Cement floors
and lots of windows and light and air.
Captain Park and | room together.
We have each single iron bed,
springs and mattress and are very
comfortable.
We start our own mess next week.
Have hired three French women, a
cook, dishwasher and waitress for
$88 per month to do the work. We
have our own dining room, kitchen and
large recreation room. 1t will be a
month anyway till we get to work.
Our supplies are not here nor the
nurses, but we are busy fixing up and
will be fixed up for good in a few
days.
Great old trees, pines, beeches and
oaks, etc, dot the grounds and IS
foot stone wall runs as far as one
can see all around the place. Every
thing here is surrounded by high
stone wall or an impenetrable black
berry hedge and you can travel miles
and never see thing, but open one
of the doors and go in and you see
the most wonderful garden you ever
saw.
We have been trying to get a wash
woman, but to date haven't succeeded.
They are all busy in the fields and
don't have time for anything else. l
will probably have to do my own
again We are going to try to get an
electric iron to press our clothes. We
have electric lights | forgot to say.
| All of the washing is done on the
rocks and in cold water out of doors.
There is not a laundry in France un-
less established by us since the war.
It's some funny place. In one city of
over 10000 we went all over the
place and couldn't find bath tub
| and there were none in the city. Bath
ing isn't done, except spoon baths and
in one city there was faucet about
every two blocks and the people car-
cied water from there.
