Writes from France
To Nirs. Silas Johnston
DEAR�.Q.ISyER REUA,—Received your
letters dated June 10 and 18 and was
sut'e pleased to hear from you and to
know you are all well, also mother.
This finds ire in good health, consider-
ing the ter,ible experience we have
gone through lately. Wrote a letter
to you on June 30 but did not have e
proper envelope so am sending it in
this same envelope. Was greatly
pleased also to bear from 0bas, this
morning, written July 5th, so he isn't
far from here but he can't say where
he is, nor can 1, so you see how hard
it is to see one another. - It seems so
queer we are so close and in a way we
are as far apart as you and I. He
can't come to see me nor can I go to
see hitn. He has escaped injury so far
and I sure trust leve will be both kept
from harm and return to you before
1naoy months, He says he hasn't had
a letter for 3 weeks film yon, but I
know it le not your fault in any way.
I always receive your letter's but not
as I should, they are delayed some-
where. I am anxiously looking for
that box. The pie in the lust one was
moulded but tine might come in better
shape. 'We appreciate those boxes
and no matter what you send we make
use of it, I hope you have sent some
more tobacco as it is hard to get over
here. You might send ole a 0011 of
cocoa next time as we can make a
good drink which helps nue a great
deal, I know you will send me any-
thing
n. -
thing I want and, as I said 19 my let-
ter to Charles to -day, you are a good
sister and if we get back safely we cal'
return our kindness to you for the
way you have used as when we are so
far away. The boxes are sometimes
jammed but not enough to hurt the
coutents. It would make yolt feel bad
if you could only see these poor lade
who have no kind mother 00 sister, as
they sit around and watcl, you with
anxious eyes, open the box, iu hopes -
of getting a shale, which they general-
ly do. It seems so queer that along

the lads who have carne from Ontario
as these is some ditferenee between

it sure makes you feel fine to meet "tl
Mend from your home town.",
Whoever said "War is Hell" was
sure right, in fact it numb be worse.
There are many things I could tell you
about since I crime into it but I cannot;
put it hi words just how you feel.
