to pass my vacation while awaiting the opening of school, which will take place i in October. 1 take beautiful walks in ! the fields and in the woods.
 When the war broke out in 1914 my l father was then the representative of the National Cash Register, of which l the chief place is in Ohio. America My l father left the second day to join his station at Granville, and he was a part of the 19th territorial army. which took part in different battles in Belgium, and on the 27th October. 1914, he found himself in the great battle of Boesin she. Alas, it was at that place that my poor father was to meet his death. ren- | dering my mother q widow and 1 an l orphan and leaving us without support. i It was a terrible blow for my poor | mama. for we lost, she above all good i husband and the best of fathers. My mother overcame with great difficulty 1 this blow but taking courage again she entered as an employe in the Ministry of the War and she forced herself the very best she could to make me forget 1 the horrors of this terrible war For my part I work the very best that can at school to give her pleasure. As to the raids of the Boche aeroplane. When there is an 'Alerte' we go down into the cellars for shelter and we come up into the homes only when the sirens announce the end of the danger.
 There are also the big cannons which are bombardins Paris. Their shooting only lasts few days but un- fortunately there are always victims and damages. These Boche bandits do not fear to kill innocent victims. Oh, how glad l would like to be bigger to revenge my poor papa, but I am glad to watch and note every day the ad- vances your brave soldiers and of our brave allied armies and where your country comes to bring us your moral 1 and material aid
 q close my letter by sending you my most sincere thanks My mother begs me to present to you her best regards, and accept, dear benefactress, the best sentiments of gratitude from a little French boy.
