A, in England, whieh he has visited. He writes as follo U. S. S. Wyoming, Box G, Care Postmaster, N. Y. My Dear Mr. Hill: You will wonder Wwho I am, but that doesn’t make any difference ‘for I know you will be in- terested to know that it was my good fortunc to visit one of the so-called huts which is kept up by the' Y. M. C. A. in England. But this particular one is purely an American instiution. This being my first leave since- I have been in the navy and being a number of months since I have been where I could enjoy many pleasures, I looked forward to this one anmd thanks to the Y. M. C. A. I sure did. have a good time. There is a wooden building which has several wings. The number of beds run as high as the hw dreds maybe higher. I can' ber. There is a large dining room where meals can be had very reason- ably. The beds are nine pence, that is eighteen cents in our money, it I have it savied out right. I dom't know much about this English money, but do know I don't like the system. Sort of hold out your hand and take what you want idea and they ask for, it in tuch a way that that for slang. they have a Provincetown fisherman snowed under. We arrived about eleven thirty and no sooner stepped off the train, when 2 gentleman dressed in the Y. M. C. A. service uniform stepped up and asked us whers we intended to stay. 1 told him we did not have any special’ place so he said, “Right this way, and put us all in a buss” T remember there was a woman driver and believe me she drove it was her middle name. Forty knots and no smoke. 1 wasn't over burdened with King Georgels money and was wondering what it was going to aet me back. But she unloated us and beat it back. 1 presume for another load. Amother man met us and we walked into the building. Believe me, Mr. Hill, there was some cpsmopolitan crowd, Amstralians, ew Zealand, Canadians and Ameri- cams predominating. Most all being on sick leave from the different hos- pitals. There is a food room, wash Toom, theatre, three pianos, grapha- phone and all busy. He asked us if we had had supper and we said no, and we sat down to fried potatoes, two fried eggs, bread, butter and cof- one and two. Whieh is one and two pence, about the size burker plate. Maybe thet is np 5 10 vou but it wom't hurt to tefl ost of the night listening. 0 had been in the y are a long way fine feliows all of and tcll their different stories! houi bragging the same way you would tell of going to business, and what you expected to do tomorrow, if vou happened to be sick today. The Y has huts all over the and give away all kinds of theatre tickets, anvthing to keep a fellow's mind in- healthy channels. I tell *you it is great and we fellows all unani- mously agree that the Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross can’t be beaten and we could not zet along without them. Hoping I have not bored you and feeling sure being a secretary of a Y. M. C. A. vou would be interested in knowing only I, but everybody in the service feel towards the Y. M. C. A, I am respectfully vours, ANDRBW W. GAILEY. city Everett Potter Finde France Beauti- ful. Everett Potter, Noank boy, nephew of Captain Charles T. Potter of Nor- wich, and of Rev. Andrew J.

Naval Aviation Force, Somewhere in France, April 4 ,1918. My Dear Aunt Lizzie: Have spent a good part of the afternoon when not otherwise engaged in putting to right and superintending repairs to an oid French chateau which the officers here have leased for quarters, in writ- ing letters to Nettie, Everett, and to the commanding offiter under whom I was detailed for over five months, before coming over here. This is a beautiful country. Peach, pear, plum and apple blossoms are about done. There are a few palms here, but acres and acres of vine- vards, with women and children work- ing in them. Occasionally one sees an old man or a crippled young man at work, but _the war has called every able bodied man. I am several hundred miles from the front, but know considerable of what is going on there. Of course you understand that I cannot write anything of a military nature, of what I am doing or even where T am,“but I am enclosing You an addressed envelope in case you have time and would be so kind as to write me a line. You have but to affix 2 2 cent postage stamp. You see that T do not have to do even that, and even censcr by own mail. I arvived March 22, after a fifteen days’ trip. When am I coming home” No one can tell. Remember me to such as may care to hear about me. Affectionately, EVERETT, SR.
