Quiet Trip Across. < u~s Frank Potter of 7s0 Boswell
 ayat,iIe has received letter from her
 son Private Howard F. Potter, at
 tached Co. D, 10th battalion, 18th En
 gineers. American B. F., via N. r., as ~ Somewhere in France. June 9th, 1918. Dear Mether:-
 well. it's such a long time since I had a chance to write letter, don't know but I have forgotten how. How are vou and my brothers and sister and their families? Hope you are all we'll. I started a letter at the first nlace we landed but did not get a chance to finish it before we left for this place. Then I waited until we got here, and we have been expecting to be moved again any old time. consequently did not know whether it was best to write or not. You see. I have not been assigned to a company yet and don't know as can mail this letter here or not! l will try it. anyway.
 We sure had a great trip across; nothing very exciting. We were near Ily two weeks coming over and had fine weather all the way across. We stayed at the place where we were landed for two days, then we were loaded on to a train. The cars are just like a box car, only smaller than they are in the states.
 We were aboard this train for two days and nights and finally arrived late in the evening. We pitched right side of the railroad in a big field a short way from a river; across the river is a small French village of about 800 population. Most all of the people are, real old or real young. the middle age are either at the front or work ing in intuition factories. The houses are all built out of stone, close together, with high stone walls around them; this is the way they. build over here. Nearly all of
 the houses have red roofs, made of some kind of slate or clay. Everything is green and growing fine; practically all of the soil is un- der cultivation, and the crops look good.
 1 certainly would like to tell you where we landed and where I am now, but it's best not to. I am well, and that is half of the game. I am going on guard at 10 a. m, so will have to finish this up. Ev- erything is higher over here than in l the states so no one should kick over 1 the prices at home. You are all a thousand times better off than they are over here.
 write; will write again as soon as 1 1 can. Expect to be assigned permanent l soon.
 1 Regards to all hands. Tell them all I will write to them soon. With best wishes and good luck.
