' ' SAM ADAMS, ESQUIRE, AN ABBEVILLE SAMMIE, WRITES BROTHER RALPH ABOUT FORDS, PIGS AND COUNTRYWILL COME BACK TELLS THEM. n July 19, 1918. Dear Ralph: Well I am here and pretty glad to get here or anywhere else. I didn't get seasick and there was nothing ex citing during the trip, but I was just naturally glad to see land again. I thought surely I would be sick all the way, but outside a slight cold, I am well and alright. We had a prety good time, but one gets tired looking at water all the time. I didn't realize, though, how tired I was until I landed. This is a pretty country, but I will take the States for mine. The scenery is finer than any I ever saw in the States, although I never saw much of it, and the soil is quite productive, but itvdoes not suit me. It seems to be a great country for grazing. I don't remember seeing a bare spot anywhere. Grass covers every inch of the ground, but there is hardly any trees. So few that you don't see any wooden buildings. Every-1 thing is stone or brick. The fences i are all mostly of stone and even the pig pen? are made of stone. The newer buildings or some of them, are made of concrete; most everyhting" is stone. They also have big, fine horses and keep them in pretty good shape. I imagine Uncle John Wilson would like it here. I haven't seen very many automobiles here and most of them are Fords. Don't know whether they have as many here as we do in the States or not. I certainly haven't seen very many. We have them beat to death on railroads and most everything else. They have little box cars not as big as a good-sized auto truck. They claim they will carry eight ton3 but I don't see how hey can get it on them I am sure you could not put a bale of seed cotton in one of them. They have only four whels to the car and no air brakes. They couple with a chain on hooks. It is a comical looking sight to see a string of them behind a little engine about as big as the Due West and Donalds engine. The cigarettes here are bad. Have tried four or five different kinds and very kinds is worse than the other. Think I will quit if 1 don't find some better ones. Have lots of Piedmonts, in my barrack bag though, and guess I will be fixed alright when I get it. Will ?rof if. in a rtav or. so. I CUG2S. I didn't lose anything on my trip except my raincoat and have found it now. A fellow took it in place cf his and I just took his. Mine was a whole lot the best coat, but I had my name in it and he hunted me up and traded back. I was glad he was the one that got it f6r lots of them would never have said anything about it. Bob Cheatham and I tried to cable but could not. Guess, you have cards though by this time telling you of our arrival. I saw Shuler the other day on the boat. It was the first and only time I have seen him. | Well, I know lots to write but do not know whether I can write it or not. Will write a longer letter when I have the censor's rules. I am well and alright and will be back some time. Will try to write the others in a few days, Aunt Ada, etc. Guess all of you are well and alright. Write me when you can. j With love to all of you.
