A LETTER

My Dear Father
You will have to pardon my
delay in writing. Since I've
been here I've been quite busy.
We. as a rule. lay over in some
town for a few days. then 60 on
another hike. which is all we
have been doing since we have
been in name erazed by CENSOR
There is one thing about
France, that is, the part I've
been ;i-and that is it sure is a
beautiful country; but there is
one thing / don't like-their
hills, too many of them.
The habits of the French peo-
pie are very ancient, still hold
the habits that I've read so much
about in history, such as wash
ing their clothes on rocks, driv.
ing their horses one in front Of
the other. One very seldom
sees any four.wheel wagons
nothing but those large two
wheel carts.
With Iall the hikes and drill
am feeling in the bes of health
and anxously waiting for the
opportunity to get crack at the
Kaiser. From reports, land, by
the way, we are not so far from
the liDes,) the American boys
are giving the Kaiser hi!
Have you heard from my be-
loved Rose lately? Keep in touch
with her as much as possible, a.
l know a few lines from 20,
will cheer her up a great deal.
Well, father, there is yer!

You can rest assured that you,
son shall do his bit, and if posi-
bic, more.
