INTERESTING LETTER FROM
PRESCOTT BOY IN FRANCE

| Somewhere in France. Oct. %.
Dear Sister,
Received yours and Helen's letters
of the 26th of Sept. and thought
would drop you few lines to let you
know that | was all o. K. and | hope
that you are the same.
Sis, will try and tell you of some
of my experiences in France and also
about the country that you so much
want to know about
First | will tell about my voyage
across the sea. 1t may not be very
interesting but will tell nevertheless.
First when we left port in the good
old u. S. a., or rather for the first
day or so | had quite a funny feeling,
but that soon wore away and | was
quite at home on my floating home.
On the way across | saw one whale
quite a lot of different specimen of
fish. was not seasick day, although
quite a number of the boys fed the
fishes, as the sailors say. We had a
very nice voyage with the exception
of the last few days, which were quite
rough
My first thoughts when | landed
were, these people are ten thousand
years behind time. | was impressed
by the houses the French people live
in; they are all made of stone; you
never see one made of wood, it is too
scarce. Then another thing that was
setback to us boys was the French
language. | could not understand
them to save my soul. But now | can
hold a pretty fair conversation with
one, that is by using my hands quite
bit. For you know that all good
| Frenchmen use their hands as much
as they use their tongues. Among
the first words that | learned to say
in French was oui, pronounced wee,
meaning yes, and par compre, mean
ing | do not understand, or no under
stand | have also learned quite a
number of other words which enables
me to carry on pretty decent con-
versation with Mr.. Frenchman.
The people of this country all work
for living The old men who are too
old to go to the front work in the
fields and various other places. The
old and young women work just the
same as the men. You very seldom
see young man over here unless he
is in uniform of the French army.
The people wear very plain clothes
and most of them wear curious wood
en- shoes. That is during the week
But take them on Sunday and they
are all dolled up and you wouldn't
hardly know them unless you knew
their faces.
The scenery Is simply wonderful
and the quaint old buildings are very
interesting, such as old castles and
old historical places.
Well, I think that is enough about
the country. people, etc, for this time.
Your brother,
Keatsie Sales.
