April q, 1918.
Dear Anna Belle:
| received your nice letter the other
day and was glad to hear from you.
You spoke Of wanting to know some
thing of France. Ever since the war
itawcd | had an inward fear that |
would be afraid to come across the
ocean, but soldier learns so many
things I comes natural to him to take
thinGa IS they come, so when we all
vent aboard a big transport we wen,
laughing ami singing. We had an un-
eventual trip across, and it seemed
that more sailors than soldiers were
sick the first three days. We had more
eats than We could make away with
When we struck the shore we were
glad to spy cH mother earth and I
don't think that single soldier on
board would swap his place with 4
sailor. I happened to be on the un-
loading detail anG light here in this
French seaport | saw my first wooden
shoes, but since then have seen many
q pair. The boys on the unloading
detail were permitted to go out that
night and wander over the city. Cafes
were like grocery stores everywhere.
When we went on board the slip that
night we gave our names to one of the
ships officers and went down to our
department. All the boys were around
us with eager eyes al.i open mouths.
They listened to what we had to say
