[y dear mother:
As you know I am a member of the

elieve that you and all the other mem
ers of the family are proud of me,
' I
Ioa 1/t V?a nrrmd nf the fact that
as your son was on? among- the
lany other khaki clad boys who did
heir part or bit rather to make the
rorld safe for democracy also to ma*
t a fit place in which to live^ altho
*11 admit that the part which I played
a this war was indeed small- beside
he parts of some of the lads which
ame over here to this war stricken
ountry^ and fought^ were wounded,
uffered and died that we might be
ree from the rulings of the crowned
tead of Europe and from the hands
f Europe and from the hands of
utocracy which tried so hard and
ailed to gain a profitable footing,
^ssibly the way in which I started
his will not appeal to you^ but I hope
j.
As this is known and regarded as
lothers Day with the boys of the
l E F the Commander in chief Genral
Pershing has issued a request
hat all the boys in France write a,
ice long letter to his mother^ **those
f us who are so lucky as to have one
ving'* so I have started with that in
iew^ so bear with me in patience uii
il you have finished reading this let
irf will do my best to make it inter
sting to you. I have just returned
"om a sixty-four mile trip which I
njoyed at the expense of the Y M C
. wre Left St. Xazaire at about 9:30
lis morning in an automobile we
* _ i
ent out through a. little town called
fontoir^ then to Don Chateau^ then
) Calvary where we stopped for about
n hour and took in a reproduction
f the^ birth^ crucifixion^ burial and
scension of Christ which I will exlain
more fully in another part of
lis letter.
After we left Calvary we went to
aother city called Guerande or the
ailed city^ this city has a rock wall
:>out thirty feet high and ten feet
ide and all around it on the ^outside
this city is another city but am un?le
to give you the name of ity we
>ent about an hour and a half here
id ate dinner which consisted of
ro eggs^ one slice of bread and a
nail piece of butter it cost us three
ancs and twenty five centimes which
about sixty five cents in american
oney^ thats paying for two eggs isn't
everything is that way over here
gh as the mischief. From Guerande
> went to a Baule and stopped
ere for about forty minutes ^ that is
e prettiest town which I have been
since I have been over herey it is a
? summer resort where a goodly
mber of the more well to do French
ople go to spend their summer va ;
tions^ they have a very fine bathing <
ach there from La Baule we headed
ain for St. Nazaire arriving at five
:lock^ that was certainly a nice trip
d wish that you could have been
th me also papa and the rest of the
nfly. '
Now we will go back to Calvary,
s is oply a small village^ there is a
ry beautiful catholic church there
also what is known as a monastery
>laee where young men and boys are
>ught up more or less in seclun
and are taught to be catholic
iests. On the grounds about this
urch monastery is a reproduction of
5 life of christ from his birth to the
iens*:-?n the figures used are about
2 size^ starting from his birth in the
