that is quite a place. In the first v

many more because it was interesting,
and 1 don't think that they put

up 11 c . night to see them send them :
ever, and many afternoons we would
go up ar.d get on top cf a hill and

a relief to move into a city where you i

important thing, that bath prcposi- j
tion, because i can count the baths
that I had from Dee. 1st to July 1st
on one hand. When 1 left Paris I had
a bath, that is on Nov. oOlh and the
I next real bath was on March 14th, so

was, but I put it in the same words j

1 will tell you that I left the office ut i

When these reports were sent a
large number of* anv.oil civilians were

it. houses, was repelled in the hands
of ihe sailors who we re supported by
