 Hdq (. Embarkation Camp No. 1, Jan. 24, 1919,-Dear Folks at Home:-
 l received my first mail today dated Dec 25 since the one Oct. 10 and was sure glad to hear from home again and to know that you were all well. This leaves me well. l have sure been lucky since l have been over here for have never been sick day since l have been in France I now weigh 185 pounds, some boy. have fail ed to get single copy of the News or my Christmas box so far but guess the reason is because 1 have been on the move so much. 1 have only met one boy here at Bordeaux that 1 ever knew, he was one of POO men that were in my company that went to the front in October, he was on his way home wounded, he said all of the them were killed or severely wounded ex- cept 15 in the great battle of Argonne Forest. tell you it is sad to see those big fine huskie fellows coming through here mained in all kinds of ways imaginable going back home q perfect wreck We boys that escap- ed whole should certainly feel proud to know we are sound. Everybody there should certainly be good to those fellows that offered their all for them was sorry to hear of the Ritter boys for they were fine fellows also poor Jack Zulpo, who was my old comrade at Bearegard. There will he lots of sad surprises when these poor wrecked boys come home and many are the homes that will never know the fate of their lost ones over

MT and Mrs. D. V Davis of Elm Springs last week received the fol= lowing letter from their son, Walter, who is with the Supply Co, of 142nd F. A. in France:
 Camp Coetqudan, France, 11-24.f8
 Dear Father:- Just line to say Hello, and to say that l am all o. K and have no reason to raise a kick
 We left N. Y. harbor on August 30th on board the Leviathan, you re- member the ship captured from Ger many at the beginning of the war It was then called the Naterland. I'm sure you remember reading about 1t. have imagined a lot of times what a large ship would be like but l never thought there was such float ing city in existance. It had four teen decks and was 954 feet long, the hull is covered with solid steel from bottom to top They have a crew of about 1900 men. It has i9 boilers and is fired by three thousand fur naces. It has cold storage, tela- phone system, electric plant and every modern convenience. There was about fifteen thousand soldiers on board besides lot of Red Cross nurses and a lot of sailors going over for overseas service that didn't be- long to the crew You can imagine a little by looking at the picture and maybe better when I tell you that the smoke stacks are thirty feet in dia- meter We were about seven days on the way over and could have made it lot quicker if We hadn't taken So many turns in and out on our course to dodge the submarines. We land ed at Brest, France on the Eth of Sept stopped there about two days. The camp we are ill now is about thirty-five miles southeast of Rheines you can find that OH the map l think. I don't know when we are going to get started home. hope pretty soon, but it is all a question yet. l know 1 am lot more restless since the war is over than l was before it was fin ished. 1 received letter yesterday from you all Glad everything is going along fine and sure hope it will continue the same. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy pros porous New Year.

 I am getting anxious about you and the boy for don't know whether you are getting along well or not. see in the paper where a good many peo- pie were sick with the influenza and many died hope father and mother are getting along fine and in good health.

Dear Mother. Sister and All:- l will write you few lines tonight IS I have to wait few minutes for ny midnight supper. l am in the best of health, also my mind has been re- lieyed of big burden, as there is quite bit of talk going around the camp that we will probably be leaving here in about [ month or six weeits of course that don't mean that we are coming home but we'll more than like ly go to England and stay about one or two months in a hospital the. e, and l think that would be very nice as we would have an opportunity to see great deal of Europe than We would otherwise prefer to go to England than to go with the army of occupation for it sure is awful cold ap there, while 1t IS not hot by aay means here, 1t ia not near 30 cold as

it is there. I don't know how true 1t is but l have heard quite few of the officers as well as the enlisted men say that Base Hospital No. s4 was the best hospital in the A. F. r.. so that makes me feel some better to know that l am one of the enlisted men to belong to an organization which is considered the best, how ever 1 am ready to start for home at any time, but if l can see England or some more of France 1t would not be so bad to stay month or two longer, besides the ocean is pretty rough just now for a fellow to enjoy his trip back home very much
 l have Richards picture in my lit tie loeket which have fastened to my Identification tag chain and carry all of them around my neck. I sure would like to be there tonight, 1 would make the little rascal jump around.
 It is ll:30 p. Tn. here now, and am going to eat my midnight supper. It is about 6:00 p. m. at home so when l am eating my 11:30 supper you are probably just sitting down to your regular evening meal, so you see we are about six hours ahead of you at home. But it is in time only that we over here are ahead of you in any thing, for everything else the [. S. is as far ahead of this country as an auto is mule and speaking of mules that is the only thing they have to work here and they are little bur ros like the one l used to have.

But guess the Huns thought they got a double dose the way things went after our boys got there. sure miss my old chum. Harry Campbell We were separated at St Aiganon, there were ! Wash i1gton County boys there with me then but l was transferred and came to Bordeaux and have never heard from them since. 1 want you to get Harry Campbell's address and send it to me.
 1 have been on duty here long enough that I am entitled to a pass and l hardly know where to go. l. have a friend whose mother is in Switzerland and he wants me to go there but some of the boys here have been down in Spain and they say that is a fine place and some wonderful sights to see there. I want to see all 1 can for I think this will be my last trip over here and I want to go to all the principal places l can while here. 1 would like to be home but l al T of course 1 was A No. so that says stay. We'll I am willing to stay as long as it is necessary. 1 was talk ing to an old sailor the other day and he said the sea was rougher than he ever saw it and he has crossed many times, so you need not expect me be fore July or August.
 There sure is a stream of men going through here for U. S. now l get a little home sick when I hear the old transports whistle for home
 am sending you picture of my self and new chum from Boston, Mass, he has sure been in the muss over here and come out safe.
 It has never been very cold here but just rains almost every day and the mud is ankle deep around this camp. We are miles out from the city.
 Have you ever got the Bonds l bought before l left? Wish you would find out as several of the boys here that took them out have failed to get them yet. I made an allot- ment of $f5 have you ever got that?
 Well I must close as it is time to go on duty. Give my love to all and write often and try to get me the News as I think l will be located here until I leave for home.
