Dear Sitter Hulda -
1 received ywir letter lav before
yesterday which you wswte on 2nd of
October aal I waa glad to hear front
you. I am still well and hope the same
of you and all. I’m living in a town
mw wad sleep m a three story build-
ing. It w the fourth diifertnt town
where I am sow But if I want ta
buy something I sure have to pay for
it. Thu evening I went to a restau-
rant and ordered me some eggs. 1 got
four eggs and two pieces ef bread. It
sure was good but I had to pay **c fur
it. Apple# around here are only as
big as an ecg but they «w#t tih* each.
Day before yesterday i hal a job
like 1 did at hom- and 1 felt as if 1
was at home too. I unloaded hay for
a man. Three boys loaded it ,»nJ 1 and
two other L>v# unloaded it. We to k
it out of a big barn and cleaned it up
for m me »iiher boys to move in. We
ate dii ntr and ;-upp»r there ton. W'e
hail soup, cabSag •, pytatoe# and chick-
en. 1 t.-il you that sure was fine! And
all the eider to drink we want d. We
cm sure buy som-* wine here, about
at every other iioor, but I bought some
only one time and that was sour wine
and I didn’t iike that. Sii I never
bought any since that time. 1 looked
all over the towns for some candy but
never could find any yet. I sure be
lieye they haven’t got any candy in this
country. i us d to eat candy and
ice cream when I w as at Camp Mill#,
but now 1 don’t get any.
Weil, you wrote m • that rru is sick
in bed, but I hope she is all right a-
gain. You wrote me that it teem# I
was well fed They did feid me giwd
when I was still on the other tide. I
believe I lost about 2*1 pound# since I
am over here. I sure don’t look like
I did when I hail my pictures taken in
New York, i hope you received them.
Tou can pick out one you want, but be
sure and put one in the garden to keep
the rabbits out.
Weil, how i. grandpa getting along
now? Is he still the same or not? I
think often about him, became he ha#
to lie in bed all the time.
Well, I guess I’ll close my letter a# it
is bed time and my candle is going out
too. So good bye to one and all.

Dear Mother:—
Well, motherdear, I am still roaming.
I am now in Wales and I think we will
go from here to Fra.ice, I just re-
ceived your letter that vou wrote Oct.
12th. I was in France the day peace
was declared and, believe me, they sute
did celebrate in that port. And jou
ought tl have seen how happy the
German prisoners were. There was a
big bunch working on the dock where
we were tied up.
This sure is a fine port where we are
in now. Every one is happy and they
greet the Americans with a glad hand.
Well, thanks to God, it is all over with
and we have peace once more. I don t
know how long I will be here, probably
for many months yet.
I only wish I were in the State#, for
there l could get a furlough now. But,
never mind, mother, I will try to get
home as soon as possible.
Well, I am sure glad to hear that
you all have had good rains, and I hope
they bring the best of results. Well,
mother, I guess I will have to close.
Give my best regards to Mrs. Hender-
Bon and family. Regards to all. I
guess I will spend this Xmas some-
ivhere in France or in Wales.
With love, your son,
Harry.
