Worth Hamilton Writes


Sept. 26, 1918.
Dear Folks:
Well. everything is going fine and
dandy as usual. Am still at same
camp and still find there is plenty OF
work here. Have been having lots
OF rain here lately. makes one think
OF Oregon weather. Our ress SER
geant, (he is corporal like my
Iseif) Is an Oregon boy and we have
great times arguing with the other
soldiers from the East in this out
ut about the superiority OF Oregon
over the Eastern States. We usual
ly win out.
They say It gets very cold here in
mid winter, but / am not worrying
as we are all well provided with good
warm clothing.
Am trying my best to master the
French language, but find It slow
work. or course l have a diction-
airy, besides l am always asking the
French working under me the mean
ing OF certain words and phrases,
and the French word for different
objects. Most Of we American SOL
diers will find 1t hard to ksep the
French words out OF our talk when
we reach home.
Visited French vaudeville thea
ter last night II cost one franc and
rs centimes. $3.50. Enjoyed 1t very
much as 1t was slightly different
from American vaudeville. There
was an orchestra there which played
mostly American airs. as most OF the
audience was American soldiers. The
singers sang in French. There was
couple OF dancing acts. a shadow
artist and two acrobatic acts. all OF
which were good.
II don't take long for the French
to learn that American soldiers have
money. All sorts OF fruit stands,
postal card and souvenier stands
have sprung up all around the camp.
Everything is very high, for in
stance, an egg costs Z cents, three
oranges sell for one franc, 20 cents,
and two or three tomatoes for the
same price. A good meal at a res
taurant costs from to s francs
($1.50).
We are extremely proud OF our
soldier comrades at the front who
have been making such a big name
for the American army. None OF us
have any doubt as to the outcome OF
the war. Besides we all have the
feeling that the folks back home are
behind us as never before. It's al
most certainty though that the war
viii last through the winter, but
think Germany is on her last legs
now.
Intend to stay in labor bureau this
winter IL possible, but in the spring
would like to transfer to some ac-
live outfit at the front. Have sent
N request to transfer to some ac-
i've outfit at the front. Have sent
n a request for furlough for G.
lays and travelling time. Am plan
hing to visit Nice, IL my money holds
tut. Possibly my next letter will
ell you about my trip.
Haven't received a letter from
lone for over a month, so my ad-
ice to you is the same as yours to
ne, don't forget to write.
Well. as usual everything is o. X.
a every way.
