The Methodist church was crowded at the annual old folks' concert given Wednesday evening. The “Spirit of '76” was paramount, for the stage con- tained many of Willimantic's best sing- ers. There were also many costru‘i%é which would have made our g fathers' daughters die of envy, cos- tumes which were ‘heirlooms in differ- ent families but which were loaned for the oceasion. A tithing man was pres- ent with his squirrel tail “tickler,” but he was not needed, as the concert was a decided success and no one went to sleep or “got into mischief.” Baby Mary Simpson, who wag the big. hit of the Hibetnian minstrels, was one the singers, while M.

The following letter from Hbrold Spicer has been received by his moth- er, Mrs. Charles E. Spicer, of Jewett ity Belleville, Il 221st Aero Squadron. Scott's Field. Dear Mothe: dirty and much tired, but all right otherwise. These quarters are the best 1 have been in yet. Wood barracks, with electric lights, shower baths ant set bowls to wash your clothes in, an others for face and hands. The mess hall is just across the way, amd the dinner 1 had was good. er, mash- od potatoes, beans, cornbread, coffee with sugar. The boys all say they hate to leave here. We had to make several changes on our way here. I sent you a card from most of them. At Cleveland, O., we waited nine hours. I went to two shows. It cost me one cent each, war tax—about the cheapest thing I have got since I came to New York to study. In one way I was zlad to leave New York; it sufe cost to stay there. I got a hair cut there, and I bet you never could guess how much they charged me—85 cents! I guess at that price that hair cut will last me until after the war. s ‘We slept in day coaches on the way here. 1 leave it to you to guess how much sleep we got. You would have laughed, T know, to see me asleep on N the Grand Central sta- tion! There: were only three of the class sent to Scott’s field; the others were sent to other camps .in U. S. A. The squadfon we are placed.in now is a permanent one: but after our records are forwarded from New York we may be placed differently, as we have not been assigned yet, but I will get mail all_right, Our sleéping quarters are of the best. The building is .all screened in; it makes one think of the beach. The Y. M. C. A. has a nice library here; we also have a piano in our quarters and haye musical entertainments, the 221st aero squadron giving one last night. . 1 shall be glad when we zet 501097 records from New York. Will you send me my jeweler's tools. not the engraver's? Will write often, as I have changed so much since I left home, The folks at home have lost track of me, I guess, and I miss their letters.
