so here goes for few lines. ! am
well as usual. have not heard from
Joe since he left for the tractor school.
We are having plenty of rain here.
We haven't had clear day here for
over two weeks. Rains nearly every
day. mostly drizzling.
was down at the Y. M. G. "A.
last night and heard a couple Of A.
merican women and men sing and
play the piano and violin. They sang
most anything. French and American
songs. / never heard any better sing
ing or music in my life There was
such 4 large crowd they could hardly
all get in. They sure made a great
hit with the boys.
There are lots of new soldiers COM
ing in here every day, but so far l
haven't seen anybody that ! knew.
We have lots Of fun riding horses
every day. Every once in a while
one takes tumble.
We can buy tobacco at the comiss-
ary cheaper than they can at home.
Cigarettes &c package. We can
also get other things cheaper there.
We have twenty mole new men in
our battery now from Minnesota.
] guess / forgot to tell you how
the French women wash their clothes.
They wash them in some little stream
or creek, on q fiat rock instead Of q
washboard. I don't believe they ev-
er saw real washing machine. They
all wear wooden shoes, even the wom-
en-. They have oxen over here to pull
heavy loads, and for farm work every
thing old style. The French people
are far behind the American people
in almost everything.
AZ far az know Buck Gunn is all
right, and AZ far % know he is in
the same bunch as Joe in the tractor
school. We are quite long ways
from the front yet. OF course we
don't know how long we will stay
here. We had a card from Wheeler
last week. He is with some kind Of
telephone instrument outfit. He said
by the time we would get his letter
he would be up on the front.

Well / guess l will close for this
time, so write soon. Your brother.

1T does not look as though France
is going to be depopulated. AS sit
here and look down thru the trees up
on the playground Of the park see
groups and crowds Of children of all
ages and sizes. They seem to be
having great sport at one game or
another. A lot Of them are playing
in the sand piles, with spade and hoe.
The people here are different class
Of French than have seen before.
They are the city folks. They dress
themselves and their little tots very
attraetively. The little folks look
healthy. They have pink cheeks,
and the little girls are pretty. There
are aalot Of little babies in their car
riages, being taken care Of mostly by
nurses in uniform who roll them up
and down the walks or sit. on bench
beside them and knit.
This afternoon walked over to the
river about half mile away. There
is another park over there and broad
walk and driveway that follows the
stream for a long distance. The riv-
or is about the size Of the Iowa river
at Iowa City. Across it, q mile or
