Dear Mother:
l am writing a few lines to let you
know that I am having the best of
times and if you knew where l was
you would sure sleep good. l, with
! two friends, are on a Sunday leave.
Got here last night about 5 o'clock;
had to stay one night in Marseilles
and left at five in the morning through
a country where roses are in bloom
in January, also flowers of all kinds,
and oranges hanging on the trees.
Mother, I wish you could be with me
and see this country. l am going to
tell brother julius and if he should
stay until next month and be able to
take a trip here, he would sure like
it. It is the garden of France The big
towns around here are nice; there are
about 100000 people in one. To stay
a day or so and then 60 to another is
fine for Uncle Sam paid for all of it
and we~ are allowed exactly for the
time to get here and back. We took
walk this morning over into Italy. 1t
is about half a mile along the sea and
the Alps on the other side We stayed
in hotel about 800 feet up in the
mountains. You can walk up or there
is car that is pulled up by cable. Ev
erything is so nice that it seems as if
l am in dream. The Y. M. C. A. have
as nice a hut as have seen in France.
They had nice show last night and
then a dance. As can not dance
did not stay. There are lot of Amer
lican girls here.s Ihty have a nice
reading and writing room and they
take a bunch of the boys and show
them around. just had letter from
Julius before I left Miramas. He is
feeling fine. Hoping this reaches you,
as always l will close with a kiss.
Your son,
Private Fred J. Suhr.
