ST. Florent, France, Nov 20.
Dear Granpa:
Will try and write a few lines to
let YOU know the war is over and the
Huns haven't captured me yet. The
only thing l am worrying about now
is, when will we leave for the
| States?
| have seen all of France that 1
care to. The very best of France is
not good enough for me. These peo-
| pie are so far behind times that they
never will catch up. Everything
| they do is just backward to US. You
can look out most any time and see
one of them coming down the street
with loaf of bread in his hands,
! and with knife as large as our
butcher knives, whiting little nib
bles off and craming it down his
| mouth faster than you could count.
And when you see a boy or man
| he is going to stop and say, "Ameri-
! can, give me a cigarette"
The shoes are made of wood, and
you can hear them coming mile
! away.
This morning as | was going down
to the shop to work | noticed about
100 women, strung up and down the
! banks of the river washing clothes,
/ and it was cold enough to freeze the
/ horns off of billie goat. And
their language. | never would learn
/ to speak it, Worse than bunch OF
Jews when they get strung out.
There is one thing | can give them
credit for, and that is the bridges.
They sure can build some good ones.
All made of stone. You very seldom
see any wood All the houses are
made of stone, even.
Bet you can't guess where VIC are
sleeping. Can you imagine us sleep
ing in a barn? Well, that is our
home. We have Is in our room, as
we call it. We had to clear the hay
out before we could put our blankets
down. We have a stove up, and II
is better than nqhing at all Fol-
two weeks we slept on the ground
and thought when we hit this barn
we were moving into a fine hotel
Our work was very hard on us fol-
a while. We had to work night and
day for d while, but it is beginning
to slow up now, as hostilities have
ceased on the front.
