NEWS FROM FRANCE.
r France, Sept. 7,1918.
My dear Mother and all.
It is a beautiful Sunday morn
ing, with no place to go and no
drill, so will write a few lines. I
am in the best of health, and feel
just as safe here, as I did in the
good old tJ. S. A.
France certainly is a beautiful
country, and 1 don’t blame the peo
ple for trying to keep the Huns
hack.
•The French people seem- awful
queer to us, and have got queer ways
but are sure fine people, after a
person learns their ways. The peo
ple are limited in food stuff in this
country, ns you are on sugar In the
U. S. We had a fine trip on the
boat, and but very few' were sea
sick. Wc had fine weather all the
way. and was in one of the largest
boats In the convoy, so it did not
seem very rough sailing. We did
not see any submarines, although we
wore well guarded against them.
One night when we were in a rest
cainp. wc could hear big guns roar
ing from the front.
1 am writing only on one aide of
this paper on account of censor, ns
they would cut It all up.
Well. I will close for this time,
hoping this will find you in the
best of health as I am. Don't worry
about me. as I am Just as safe here
as if I were at home.
Goodbye.
Your loving son.
Ralph Baldwin
Sept. 12. 1918
Dear Mother and all.
Will try again to write n
few lines. News Is awful scarce
that is anything we would he allow
ed to write. We are camped In a
small town, and go on short march
es. and have our drill every
day.
Our company marched out In the
country a few miles one day last
week to see a large castle that had
been built In the 13th century
It had Just been re-modeled before
the war started They say it coot
over a million dollars to fix it up
again. There was a high wall
around it. with the moat between
the wall and the castle. Wc could
see bullet holes and places where
arrows had struck In battles of old
en times.
I went to a cemetery last night
after supper. It is in the church
yard, close to where wt are camp
ed. It is one of the most beautiful
places 1 have ever seen. All the
graves and monuments are decorat
ed with flowers made of different
colored beads. Some of the monu
ments wero dated back over two
hundred years nnd were kept as if
they wero only six months.
There are lots of grape vineyards
here and wine seems to be the chief
occupation of the people. There
is a good deal of truck gardening
done here, but all the people live in
small towns and have no fences,
Just herd their cattle and goats in
small bunches.
We stopped In one town over
night, which they said was built
In the year one hundred and elev
en. All the buildings are made of
stone and if there is a frame build
ing, It has been built since the war
began.
Well I will ring off for this time,
hoping this will find you all well.
Your loving son.
