Mr. and Mrs. Chris Rasmussen re-

son, Cook Axel Rasmussen of the 340th
Infantry:
Somewhere in France, Aug. %.
Dear Parents and Brother:
am lying under cherry tree writing
this letter so you see I am enjoying
myself as il did on the farm. There is
not much fruit here this year as they
need rain. I was just out in vine
yard, must have been about five acres,
in all, but fruit won t be ripe for some
time. There are quite lot of English
walnuts grown here. The farms around
here seem to be owned by one man and
he has lot of tenants to work them for
him. They have some fine cattle, must
be all pure bred, all white. All of the
horses are stations and they work them
in teams or tours. The wagons weigh
nearly ton; it takes team to pull a
wagon alone. They raise a lot of sheep
here. Nearly every tenant has COW
and they make cottage cheese, they
hang it out side in open wicker bas-
kets to let it cure. It sure does look
funny, but I guess they know what
they are doing. | mus close with best
wishes to you all. | am well and hap
Ply, seeing lot of country and sure
great experience.
From your son and brother,
Axel Rasmussen.
