You all seem to think I do not tell much about what I am doing, but where we are now stationed things are so peaceful and quiet (by contrast) that there is little to tell about, and when we wero where the circus in full swing, there was no time, and not much that it was permissible to tell, if there were time to write. 0 The most I can period is that the many is going to get out of this war i an awful whipping, and our boys re just beginning to give it to them when we were ordered to our present. station. “The boys felt bad to have to leave where we were just as the row w drive’ golng is making the ‘big the army of e was say about that only thing Ger- | getting hot and they were getting weil limbered up, for while many of my | ‘kids’ are grey-haired men who have been in the service for many year: they certainly do love to fight, and hated to leave before the circus end- ed. “As to my present work, the only thing I can do is to give you a sum- mary of today, which is perhaps a typical day's work for our present lo- cation, and it now looks as though I might be stationed here for some time. “Well: I did net get up till after seven this morning, for as I sit at the Colonel's table at mess, and he is not very fussy about an early breakfast, there is no occasion for early turning out. After breakast I went to the hospital and gave everything ‘the once over, then had my horse brought up and made Inspection rounds of the camp till about ten o'clock. Then back to the hospital, and did some dressings, gave some in- travenous injections, took some blood samples for Waserman tests, gave a ward master a blowing up begause things were ‘just a wee bit dirty’. (They really were not dirty but noth- ing is clean in this place if it can be made cleaner). Just then I heard ru- mors that a big bunch of mall was in from the States, and I started for the Post Office. Met Maj. Butier and he looked awfully sory for me as he said, ‘Well: Lieutenant, there is no mail for you.' Then he sald ‘You had bet- ter tell your orderly to get a wagon ind go after it.’ As we had lunch at welve T could not make much head- with my big bunch of mail be- then, but after dinner I sat down with my trusty old pipe for company and just devoured your let- ters. Before I finlshed them the or- derly came around with my horse and I had to start out again on my rounds, for T am sanitary officer of this camp, and have to inspect the hospital and camp ounds hen I rode across the try for about six milese and back four o'clock Since then I have sat with the Board to decide on the advisability of sending some ases to a ‘base’, welcomed two medical men the wards again, am to dinner, and that through your way fore cou at shaved back new inspected zoing going now am na after |letters again diffe me ent in, “Things may be altogether by the time you hear from for they are liable to chan, ly, and we may get orders at any again and help keep ‘circus grounds.” When will be little time for no staying abed till 7 in mo- order at the we do there writing, and the morning. “T wish 1 could make you under- what a cheerful lot the boys over here are.

But they do love a scrap, and they always get where they start for, and they are a dear lot of old razorback “Your Affectionate Son, “FIRST LIEUT. M. H. GRISWOLD, “Somewhere in France In a letter dated July 10th he says: “I wish I cauld convey to vou people at home an idea of the perfect confi- dence which pervades all branches of service over here. “There is an absolute certainty in the mind of every one that what we are over here for is to help clean things up in the right wav, no matter how long it takes. You will remember when I left the United es last March T told you not to expect me home under three unless T was sent back for some special work. It is going to take about that length of time. “Tell all the friends who have hoys over here not to worry needlessly. We get everything we can ask for ta eat, the men are well cared for and are really happy, and T have vet to find the first one to say ‘T want to go home to see my Ma." Some of us will get killed, some of us will get hurt, |and some will die from sickness, but lall this would happen in just about |the same ratio among an equal num- ber of the same age at home. Tt is ‘part of the game’ and every one here seems to be playing it in the best of spirits. The sentiment of all seems to be ‘we can’t die but once and when we are dead we might as well be in Trance nywhere' but no one thinks are going to be killed Fire in Auto Truck. A service truck passing through here this morning had a slight acci- dent. Two empty burlap bags in fhe rear of the car were seen to smoke, then as they started to blaz the driver noticed them.
