Neuffer Writes His Little Sister of His Experiences in Far Away France?Two Days In Gay Paris?A'"'Jerry Wakes Them Up. July 2, 1918. My Dear Maria: Got a letter from you last night. I am writing you a short answer this afternoon ju3t to.tell you that I haven't forgotten you completely. I wrote Mamma a few days ago telling her that I am agaio with my "irviTHimr T'm Qlirplv d?d tO WW" UVili^UilJ. * *" wv.*?v 0 be b^ck with t?hem , again becausc I'm tired of going 'around with a bunch of folks that are not from my own regiment. I have been almost all over France to get back to my company Got to France all right and rode all the way across the whole country to get to the place where my school was. Went to school for four weeks and then travelled nearly all the way across the country again. This second trip we came by Paris, where \ we spent two days. We are billeted in a little French village. I am going to tell yoti just a little about this place. W. D. and I are in the same room and the house we live in is just like most of these French places. They have the living rooms, cow stalls, pig pens, and chicken houses all in the same building?or so very close together that it amounts to the same thing. All the houses are built so that there is a square yard?with buildings or rooms on all sides?and they usu^ i-\-P wofor in t.TlP CXXiy ilttVC n punu X/A. IfMVva. -? ? middle of this. Also, the trash pile is right in the yard. Then, in the back yard or behind the houses, they have their flower gardens. It's a funny country. A few nights ago we were all wakened by an awful racket. We found that a "Jerry"?as these men call the Boche airplanes?was sailing around over us and the big guns were shooting at it. I think everybody in the whole village was up to see if they could see it but, although we could/ see the shells bursting and the searchlights, we didn't see the Take a To Can mm^m I If You have to . fi Big Shipme Bags, $1 to $ Suit Cases, $1 Trunks, $4 tc ll ^ . :j i 11 .1. ~ ???? - " " 1 SgSSSSBBSSBHi ,9?3SB8SBEB0eBlSf!0 "Jerry." And, when I went back i to sleep, they were still shooting and I could hear the airplane's engines. I am getting on fine. We have most everything we want and, al- ; though the work and drills are not quite as hard as we had in Sevier, ' we have plenty to do. Write me^as often as you can. Ij am always glad to hear from you; because I think about you all the time. Give everybody my love. Tell j "Wop" that some of these days, I'm going to write him a letter. Yours truly, Gottlob A.

M# dear Mamma: Since I wrote you last, we have! moved again. This time, however, j the whole company moved and we made a three day hike. The walking was allright except the rain. That made things a bit unpleasant but the roads were all either macadam or concrete and there was very little mud. We made only about twelve to fourteen miles each day but the men were pretty tired when we made camp. We are in a camp now where we hear the big guns all day long and all through the night. I sat up the first night we were here until about midnight watching the cannon flashes, the star shells and such things. It is fireworks that beats anything you can imagine. We are still a good ways back from the front line, but from our camp we can see where the line runs. T ?r.4- wfA Tio/1 o vonr ftvplf .LJCLdb lllgill/j ? c nau a ?vi j vav.? ing time. About three o'clock, Fritz began sending over a few shells. These came rather close to our I nlace?about two hundred yards and everybody thought that they werej trying for us. However, none found us and we are still safe as ever. Yesterday afternoon we saw an air battle between one Boche plane Dr; Cheap Su nn wliAn Y LAp TT1AV11 JL /ACATIONISTi have a New Bag ( rom us at a Bargain. nt Just In m 8. : M l to $13.50 HIS i $15.

He ran and the Britishers ran him down. ) W. D. saw Oscar Stevenson yes-^ terday. Oscar said he had been -in i the lines and been gassed and was back getting over the effects. I,1 don't know whether his home folks,: know that or not. If you tell them, ] be sure to say that he is 0. K. now. I haven't heard from any of you folks at home in a long time now. Got one letter yesterday from you. It was postmarked May 3rd, and was addressed to me at Hoboken,) N. J. Also got a bunch of Press and( Banners. Once had the notice that 1 had arrived over here safely. ? t J suppose tnat you nave racivcui some of the letters I've written by this time and that you know I am getting on all right. If letters going to the states are as long getting there as letters coming this way, it is probable that you haven't heard from me yet. I hope yoc get this one allright. W. D. got a letter from home yesterday?from his mother I think She said that nobody except Mary Perrin had heard from him since he left. I know he has written regu-( larly and the mail is evidently held up somewhere. There's no certainty about mail going either way. At any rate, it takes a long time for letters to get across. Give everybody my love. Write| as often as you can. Yours truly, Gottlob A. NeufFer, Jr. VISITING RELATIVES HERE. Prof, and Mrs. P. L.
