j. w. Warder, ST., from a base
hospital in France.
Somewhere in France,
Sept. /, 1918.
Dear Mother:-
Well, I've have moved again.
This is the best home I've had
since my arrival in France. Pm
at a base hospital now and ev,
erything is lovely. The other
hospitals were only field hOspit-
ais and they were always on
the move, so they sent me here
so they wouldn't have to move
me around so much.
This sure is a swell place. Nice
big park to roam around in and
everything Just swell. There is
a bunch of Red Cross nurses
here and they are sure doing
wonders for the boys. Every fell
low that has been here cans
find words big enough to express
their appreciation for what they
have done. They are a gift from
God" to the sick and wounded.
If the people in the States
knew how much the Red Cross
is doing here they would give
everything they had to it.
My jaw is about the same and
it is as | said before-it will
just take time, so don't worry
at all.
They just came around with a
pay roll 50 | guess I'll get a few
Francs" money one of these
days. Mail is what | want. 1t has
been eight weeks since / had
any mail. | guess they are try
ing to reach me but l haven't
been in one place long enough
for it to catch up. 1t will Just
about be my luck for it to reach
here after | have gone back to
duty.
They have moving pictures
here. Can you imagine that?
And they are the real American
kind. 1t sure is good to sit and
look at the movies again.
1t is awfully funny about pric-
es here. Something's are cheap,
some are high. | bought a pound
of Star chewing tobacco for 35
cents and it costs 70 cents in
the states. III have enough
chewing TO last me a year. APP
pies, pears and fruit like that
are worth from 20 to 35 cents
a piece. The U. S. Quartermas-
ter has a retail counter and you
car buy things awfully cheap,
but the boys keep them out of
everything.
Well, ! must close for now
and read the morning paper,
and get the dope.
Love to all,
John.
