Letter From England.
? :
?
4 The
following letter has been received
from Hayne Breland by his
sister, Miss Z^lma Breland:
Liverpool, En*-, Sept. 20th, 1918.
Dear Zelma:?I know you have ?efp
, cided that I am "dead" or seriously
? L, ill or something awful has happened
to me because you haven't heard
from me before now, and I guess you
have a right to think so," for really I
should have written y&u as soon as I
p:
arrived, and did intend doing so but
was sick with mumps when I got
here and have just got over it, so
I have been sick nearly all the time
since I've been here and I sure havx
en't felt/like writing, letters.
. ' Well, Zelma, I made the trip across
-*tf all 0. K. and enjoyed it immensely.
I wouldn't take anything for the trip,
but had the misfortune to catch the
mumps the day before I disembarked, i
so was sent to the hospital here as
soon as I left the ship, and have been
here ever since. I have not been :
very sick with the mumps but have
been confined to my bed for several i
days and have just gotten up this
morning, but I am well now and
have never felt better, in my life.
Gee! Zelma, I am wild about this
place and I hope I shall be lucky
enough to get assigned here. Every- j
body is real nice to me and especially !
foe girls. I am crazy about them
and am going to try to go up town
tonight to see one. I doubt tho' if I
shall be able to get off tonight as I
. have just gotten out of the bed but
it won't be but a short time before
I can get a pass almost every night.
The girls over here sure are crazy
about the U. S. soldiers and most all
or our Doys nave sweetnearts over
here. I know it wont be long before
t I will have a pretty girl here myself.
I have met several already.
Zelma, how about my suit case?
Did you receive it? I have never
heard whether you got it or not.
I am sorry I had to leave the States !
without giving you all a good picture )
of myself but I just eouldnjt get any |
mad? in Allentown. I am going to!
send you all some from here as soon i
as I can have them made. I know ;
where some fine studios are near here ;
and will have some made right away, i
How are you all getting on? Fine,!
I hope. I want you to write me as j
soon as you get this for I am anxious !
to know how you all are getting on. !

I and every night, and it has been
fleeting this morning. The weather
is very different here to what it is
in U. S. A., but this is a 'beautiful
e
country and I am well pleased.
Zelma, I don't believe now that the
war is going to last much longer. I
! don't see how Germany can last long
I when the allies are. beating her as
i they are now. The English sure
speak highly of the Americans yfor
their recent victories over the Germans.
I don't want you all to worry about
me at all for I am faring fine. I get!
plenty to eat and a good place to
sleep and am having a good time,
i Zejma, I am sorry but I cannot tell
1 you anything from a military stand,
point. I will close for this time, hop-I
ing to hear from you real soon. Tell j
everybody "hello" for me and tell!
them to write me. Bye, bye. Your I
devoted brother HAYNE. j

The Spanish influenza seemed to'
be on the increase during the past j
f
week, about 170 cases being re-j
ported for this place and vicinity, j
The people have begun to realize the
importance of using every precaution j
to guard against its spreading. Last'
Saturday did not seem like a Satur-|
day. Instead of the streets apd stores ;
being crowded, they looked to be al-!
most deserted. Business being dull \
anyway, only a few people came to:
town.
