in France" expressed his gratitude
for a set of knitted articles receiv-
ed from the Red Cross.
From what / hear" the letter
continues. "the women Of the United
States are getting real busy. With
all you are doing though you have
it very easy compared with the
women here in France. Only old
men, women and children are left
to produce for France and 1t is
pretty hard for them. .e
For the benefit of the house
wives back home / will give you a
little dope on conditions here: But
ter is 90 cents a pound, eggs rs
cents a dozen, sugar hard to get at
all and meat so high that 1t does
not pay to eat it. Even with the
high prices the French try hard to-
do little things for the American
soldiers. They give us pies and
other little things like that, things
they can hardly afford to eat them
selves"
