REMEMBER THIS 321 Main Street, “HERE IS THE MAIL’ EXCITING HOMENT Boys’ in France Hungry for| Letters From Home How a young man ‘“somewhere over there” feels when he receives a letter from the States is fully illus- trated in the following letter which has been received by Miss Elsie M. Hopkins fram her brother, Corporal William M. Hopkins, who is a mem- ber of the Expeditionary forces in France. Incidentally, he mentions that some good American cigarettes would be appreciated. Willls C. Hopkins, of 432 West Main street, and enlisted in Company I, March 27, 1917. At the time of en- listment he was employed as book- keeper at the freight depot. The letter follows: “Somewhere in France, “Oct. 80, 1917. “Dear El and All: “I received your most welcome let- ter this noon dated Sept. 28th—just a month past—so you can imagine how long it is since we’ve heard from the ‘States” We had just returned from drill when someone said that Company I received a hbag of mail. Now I guess we weren’t delighted with joy! I found a nice letter in it from a certain girl back in the ‘States,’ but letter from home and, a few minutes later, in came another bag containing your welcome lines. I bet I read them over twa or three times a day. Say! It makes us all feel as though we were back in old Connecticut when we hear from home—so much for the letter. Well, Crean, Callahan, O’'Brien and Hintz are all feeling fine—and so far I still retain my record of not going on the sick report. I think this French atmosphere is golng ta hgrec with us all. “Well, El, I don’'t blame you for envying my trip, because it has been a wonderful one. This certainly is an ‘0ld country’—about 100 years behind in improvements, just as we read in stories. There certainly are some quaint old towns over here, with their old clay houses and beautiful churches. Most of the people wear wooden shoes, and everything else is ancient and antique. “With all the letters combined which the fellows received today, I guess we are all well posted on doings in New Britain, because we read each other’s letters.
