"Sunday, July 22, 1017 Dear Father,—Just received your most welcome and long looked for letter a few nights ago and must say I was indeed pleased, to hear from you again and to know you are all well at home. • Your letter just took a little over a month and a half to come, which I think is about the average time at present. I had a letter from Toronto last Mai/eh "which was mailed in December, it just took it three months and. two -days to come, so you can see the .snail trains and boats are very er- ratic out in this co0ntryy. We are having terribly hot weather here ...paw. We are right into the middle .of summer. The thermometer regis- ters between 04 and 104 every day 'now and you certainly feel the heat :as the weather is so dry. We have started taking quinine again this summer, just twice a week now, and =ft is certainly as vile as ever. I will be glad to get away from this coun- try even if it is only for ;that reas- on, We have our lawn tennis court PTE. OHAS, E. LAVIS ;fixed up again and we often spend a few pleasant hours playing, even if at is in the hot sun. I used • to get up .about four o'clock in the morning and play before breakfast, but lately I have lost all ambition for such. We are quite close to the Bay, and ;go down bathing nearly every day. !Phe water is quite warm and is ter- ribly salty as well as dirty, I was "put for a holiday about a week ago, so several of us got together and hir- ',ed a sail boat for the afternoon and sailed_aeross the bay to a point ;called Kara Bourna. We landed al - night and, then we walked across the ,point and had a bath in the Aegean Sea. I have bathed. -in numerous . waters since leaving home. The tem- fperature here just a couple of days .ago was 102 degrees in the shade and 0 degrees in the sun so you can imagine how warmit is. Today is ;just nice as there is a nice breeze blowing and it looks as it it might rain. but I expect it will blow over_ as' this is our dry season.' The Greeks have just finished cutting their spring wheat about a month ago.. They let it stand until half of it fell down and then they started mowing it with a very small scythe, .about the size of a corn scythe, then they bound .it tip by hand, loaded it -on their little donkeys until all you -could see of the donkey was his eyes :and ears. When they got it .home -they stacked it. Now they are threshing it. This is the way they do it., First of all they spread it all out on the ground, 00- course the ground is quite hard, drys and level, then they get their oxen and yoke them to a small stone -boat and the Greek women climb on and ride around on this boat for several days, so between the oxen tramping on it and the stone -boat sliding around, it grinds everything up pretty well, ev- en the straw. Then they. get their .forks and shake it up and take away .all the coarse straw and then put the chaff, the wheat and a large part of the soil in bags and then put it ro igh the fainting mill. it is car- - ' tailk no wonder the natives have 'brown bread, There is'a1t American missionary here 'olid he often comes over, and visits tite liospital and tells its• all about this place when he first name here. We have a splendid view of Mount Olympus, the home of the clods, from here and on a clear day w clad show peak quite we can sec the n ytitc plainly and 11 does loots tdireslting. About the hardest thing to get but here is a good drink of ice eold wat- er. a 1.11 the drinking water which we ' get here has to be boiled and owing to such hot weather it never gets a oiiilatcc to cool of? properly. I ant enclosing a small snap which I had take:t some time ago, T have lots 10010 but stn unable to send them owing to regulations, Well, fattier., 1 will now cleft, hoping to hear from y0U soon, 1 Gini as eVer, your loving •son- C has."
