1NTEEEST1NO LETTER FROM
P M POETEE IN FRANCE
1 Franco Nov 24 191S
Dear Did
I received your most welcomo letter
last Friday and have not had ranch
time io answer It until now
This loaves no well and in pood
spirits I am sure glad that tho old
war has finished and know that I am
not by myself
I havent the lea t idea when 1 will
bo home but hero is hoping that it
will bo by the first of tho year anyhow
Well this is the day that has been
ct nsidc ior all tho boys over here to
writo a letter to Dad and I am going
to try and write you as interesting a
Jetfer as I canT
left the stites on the morning of
July 30th and was on tho ship twelve
days and nights Wo landed on tie
northwest point of France
Vfo stayed at this place one week
sleeping in our pup tents and on tho
morning of or rather about 100 am
the 11th of August wo took the train
for what we suppo ed to be the front
but stopped at a small place and encamped
in vacant buildings for three
weeks We obtained some of our
equipment at this place and then made
another advance and have been here
vcr since This place is one of the
largest artillery camps in the world
Ton spoke of being proud to say that
you had n son in the 36th or Panther
Division as it is sometimes eilled
Well I am proud to sty that I am in
the 3Gtb but this part or rather the
Artillery has never fought a day It
was the Infantrv that hit tho hard
blow and we would have been thereto
back them up if it had not been
for a mistake however theyweio tho
noble k that helped > end the
L fo lo t
fide this morning on a
went about four or five
tho old Von Hinden
burg eastle It has at one time been
an awful fine place and was built
1S74 76 and it shown the finest of ar
chitccture and all the out houses such
us the barn and servent houses are
real nice buildings
Well as it is in my mind I will drop
back to mj trip over the deep blue
On Sunday August 11th we were at
ta < kod by a bunch of Subs Now I
toll you when a fellow is from 4 to 0
thousand miles from home and besides
out on as lonesome a place as the old
Atlantic well he just dont like to befooled
with as those Subs do act I
wao in the dining room eating my
breakfast when I heard the first shot
fired nnd believe me I was not long
rluiibmg the two flights of stairs and
wan just in time to see the great sea
battle that was fought I have heard
that thero were six of those said Subs
anil that our convoys and chasers got
five of them Now I eant and would
not tell that to be so but I do know
that business sure did pick up and it
is interesting to see those little chasers
run and flsto around like a bunch of
dog after a rabbit that has been almost
run down They would run up
and drop a bumb then hiko It and in
a feiv toconds there would rise a body
f water as high as any of the ships
I hae been told that this battle
was the greatest that was tier fought
on the water A fellow has a good
chain to be safe but in a case of
that kind ho dont feel so safe after all
Well I started in to writo you as interesting
letter us I could and do hope
thut suck as that interests you For
when homo times I think how easy jou
cquld have lost a pun I just say that
wo were lucky I guess you are awaro
our moil service is sometimes rather
slow and no wonder When I thiuk of
how far away I nm from home and
that there is so many over hero to get
mail Heres sure to be lots of ork for
all of us to hear from our dear ones
A often us wo would like
I hne soon many things of great
interest since 1 left our dear Old Lone
filar State but give mo Tulla hereafter
and 1 will bo well satisfied Sure would
like to get tlui Tulla Herald as often
jis J hear from you
1 would like to soo two more things
Wrpro 1 Jravo this Republic and that
Pari and the country thut hns been
InvaJed by the Germans
I have seen American troops bar
racks camp trains billets etc until
it looks like there is more soldiers
over here than one would realize who
did not know These trains over here
are sure some sights to the Aineriesn
hoy and if we had a pullman to ride
in we would jusl simply be in Paradise
Tl is is an awful pretty country for
scenery presenting somo very historical
and beautiful sights I sent you a
book of > ost cards some fow days ago
of a very beautiful city that I visited
two weeks ago today This city has
about 350000 inhabitants I had the
pleasure of seeing many things of
beauty 4nd IiWtorlcil too of great Interest
to me Among which was a
building claimed to be 1900 years old
cathedrals of many hundred years
standing statues and the finest thea
tres in the world
finest and most expensive art work in
the world which was brought to that
place at the beginning of the war All
kinds of relics that have been gathered
for several hundred years
There were mummies in somo of these
cathedrals that were in perfect state
that have laid for three or four hun
dred years in perfect preservation and
the
tpes and it is like the
ilork with little fields
I tops
Well I must close for this time I
received a letter froii Ion yesterday
and he sent me somemore of his pic
turcs which look vervKMatiiral I must
write to him also loulU and Mary
today
1 hope all of yon are well and mrik
ing it flue
I have gained exactly twentyfive
pounds slnco I came over and now
weigh ICO which is about as heavy as
I ever was
