Dear Folks at Home:
Here ! am all safe and sound some-
where in France, enjoying the scenery
and feeling very fine.
I have been travelling most of the
time since I left Camp Lee over two
weeks ago and have seen some sights
that have been very interesting to
me. 1t is hard to write about our
trip as there is so little I can say that
will pass the censors. We left the u.
S. on Sunday morning and by noon
were out Of sight of land. The water
was very smooth SO that seasickness
was not general as we expected it
would be. ! happened to escape with
out getting sick and considered my
self lucky for I expected to be the
first one.
We had very little to do on the boat
and most of us spent our time gazing
at the sea and roaming around the
ship. 1t only took me two days to
get to all parts of it that We're avail
able and to me it was novelty. Our
transport was an Italian boat manned
by an Italian crew and of course the
most of us could not talk to the crew
very much.
Nothing of importance happened to
us. We saw few whales and sew
eral other kinds of fish, but no sub
marines. There is very little danger
from "Subs" now as all the trans
ports are so well conveyed that a
"Sub" would have little chance of do
ing much damage.
After a successful voyage we land
ed in France, everyone feeling fine.
From the wharf we hiked for about
tT hours to what is called rest
= 1Hhe1sa we expected to have. Z

stead we spent our two days in work
ing. 1t was not so bad, as it gave
us chance to get out and meet the
fellows already here. They had a
lot of stories for us, but as usual
army talk is taken at a discount.
From our rest camp we boarded train
and proceeded inland until we arrived
here. We are still a good distance
from the front and no doubt will spend
quite few weeks training near the
danger zone. AS we have only been
here a couple of days we have not
started on our training here.
l must close now and get this start
ed back. Write as often as you can
for news is scarce over here.
With love to all.
