but nothing to compare with the
trains back home. Ishall always

enough for twenty men, but As

hope you are well.
| am still in Coblenz and am
enjoying myself on the Rhine.
There is all kinds of wine and
Schnapps here to drink, but as
for myself, | am on the water

off soon.
| have just been through the
kaiser's castle here, and have
seen the room in which the pres
ent queen of England once slept.
This structure is known through
out the United States as the first
castle of the kaiser on the Rhine.
1t was destroyed by the French
in 1762, but was rebuilt, and now
contains all the old relics of that
period. 1t is sure some scenery
to look upon. / can't begin to
tell you all about this wonderful
old castle, as it would take me
too long.
There is a vast difference now
in the conditions which existed
here when we first landed more
than a year ago. We are now in
garrison and don't have to sleep
in church houses, old barns and
stables like we did in France.
