We are on the sixth floor and it is very tiring for mamma as naturally there is no elevator, and mamma, who is very delicate, finds it terrible to do her errands. You tell me you have a nephew in France. If ever he comes to Paris or to Brittany he can come to see us. We shall be very pleased to know him.

All the hotels are fuill of American men and even American women, the more they came the more contented and reassured we are.

April 9, 1918, You ask me, Madam, what you can send my child; why, anything you like; he is three years old, a tall boy, slender and attractive, and I know in advance that I shall be delighted with it. At the same time I should like t0 ask you if vou have any clothes which you are not using, for me, for in ide get- we that it is very difficult for a lady to dress herself in a decent fashion. We have had very cold weather, with much snow, but just now it is milder, and let us hope that it will continut so until spring to facilitate the diffi- cult task of our dear American friends and of our brave French soldiers. I must tell you also that little Paul draws things, very archaic, and loves color; he also is fond of music. I am happy to see that he has a pretty lit- sle soul, delicate and sensitive. Jan. 15. At this moment we are saddened by the unfortunate victims of the bom- bardment of Paris; there is now a slight letup but a few days ago we did not pass a day or a night without receiving bombs and ehells. Little Paul has suffered from the descents into the cellar, both from the cold of these places and from the interruption to his sleep. Some of the bombs fell very near my home, at the turning of the street where 1 live; terial damage and there were numer- ous victims; it is perfectly frightful. At present the weather is disagree- able and rainy and for this reason we have had a certain tranquility, but what do these barbarians reserve for us when the fine days have mofpletely returned! 1 am leaving at the end of the month for Normandy with little Paul; the sea will do him good and then the dear little one will be sheltered from the murderous shelis. 1 have done the impossible to avoid for him the dangers of Paris. You cannot imag- ine, dear Madam, my suffering and the horrible fear when eve moment I heard the shells falling in Paris. I am much more afraid of the long range cannon than of the night raids of Gothas; in the night the sirens go j through the streets and warn the pop- ulation to go to the shelters, and it is simple; the cannon is more traitorous, for the sheile fall and kill blindly in the midst of the life and circulation of Paris. 1 am placing at the top of this letter a clipping from an important paper and I am happy te send it to prove to you my deep sympathy and admira- tion for the bravery of the Ameri soldiers.
