June, , 1918. 1} Dear Mama: I No doubt you will have received lithe post card notifying you of our j safe arrival overseas long before this |reaches you. 1 Our trip across the sea was a very, , pleasant one. I did not get sea sick.' | One day I felt a little dizzy all day,; I and at times felt a little upset, but [ j by lying down I soon got over it. j si Some of the boys did get sick for aj I ? 1 i. ?i? - ? ? ! ! aay or so, uui umy a iew ui tu?ii.< . i I suppose it was due to the unusual j calmness of the ocean. The ' whole! trip, we had clear weather and the | sea was not rough a bit. I was! ; somewhat disappointed myself, be1 cause I expected to see large break-; r ers, etc. I also expected to be toss-! ; ed about just a little, but, did notj ' see any real breakers, nor were we tossed about any. The first two or; - three days, I enjoyed it, but towards . the lafct began to grow tired of it , and was glad to land. The crowd of fellows seemed to be a jolly one and did not seem to be worried a bit t about getting across. I heard that i one of the ships crew said it was the j ; most carefree bunch that he hadi > i brought over. I believe he must: have been right about it, too. I can't give you all the little de-j tails about our trip as to when wej ,| arrived, etc. mat is pronioitea. wej ^are somewhere in England. At,the! . present I am in a Y.. M. C. A. tent, | as you will see too, I am using some; of their stationery. It comes in* s pretty handy for the boys at the ['camps. v i The country around us is mighty I pretty, I think. I enjoy looking atj the different things etc. One thing j I have noticed is that most of the II houses I have seen are brick houses. i JI don't think I have seen a dwelling! sjmade of lumber yet, or I haven't | .: noticed it if I have. The third auto; J that I saw after getting off the boat j | was a Ford too, but I guess they Ijare everywhere where there are au.! i -: bumuuuec). By my watch now, it is r.Imost six. o'clock. I suppose you all are just j about eating dinner, or are about i through by this time. The differa I j ence in our time and this time is; ' about five hours. Then it does not " | get dark here now, until eleven " o'clock, but at'home, it is dark at nine o'clock. I j I got only one letter from home ! before I left. That was the one papa wrote me. I suppose you wrote j and I will get it over here later. I want you to write me as often as ; you can as I will be anxious to hear ; from you all. I am going to write ( you as aften as I can, but if they . seem to be far apart some time, you , need not worry about it for I may J not be able to get them off, or some-. i thing like that may delay them. If ; possible, I would like to get the pa> per to keep up with some of the !' news. Just give Miss Carrie my >1 address as you have it. I want to write another letter, so ij will stop. Will try to write you ! a longer letter next time. Tell i Rivers and Annie hello, and that l| they must write me too. . I am well, having a good time and am seeing the sights and learning something, I think. Wish I could tell you more. With lots of love for all, ^Francis L. Mabry.
