Caldwell, 457 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois We have been having some fine weather here, but the last day or two has been rainy and just a little cold. I think when this change is over spring will be here in earnest, for the trees are full of new leaves and the cherry trees are in blossom also. France is full of fruit trees, es pecially apples, grapes, eherries, peaches, walnuts , pears, etc., and fruit is cheap here. I eat apples almost every day. Dates are also plentiful, as well as figs. All the French people are go ing to Church today—Easter— and the bells are ringing all over the country. You know all the cathedrals have large bells; I love to hear them ring. Remember, mother, that I love you and think of you every day, and will return to you and father just as soon as I can. smooth, easy flowing language and I am told, isn’t very hard to learn, even if it is a Latin lan guage. There isn’t much news to write tonight, but you will hear from me again soon. Will write to you regularly so thre will be letters in the mail every two or three days for you. Remember I love you and think of you each and every day, and am coming home to you just as soon as the war is over. I have not forgot ten that you taught me to be a man, and there is never a day- that passes but that 1 ask our God to keep and protect both until 1 can return to again. you you Stars and Stipes will never know the meaning of defeat. When I come home I want us to go fishing down at the mouth of Crowel’s Spring Branch, and pull some'of those large blue cats and three-pound suckers, as well as a big fat trout or two. Wouldn’t it be fine though? Keep the place baited! I wish for you, on this your birth- bay, much happiness and continued good health. Before your next birth day I expect to be there with you. Write to me when you can, Father, and remember I am thinking of you and mother.- Sunday, March 10th, 1918. My dear Mother: How are you this beautiful Sunday norning? I hope you, father and all are well. I am enjoying the very best of health and everything is all light. Mother, how is the weather at home now ? I know Georgia has had some unusually cold weath er for the past two months or more, and I am. wondering if it has warmed up vey much yet. We are having some very fine, springlike weather here; clear skies, nowind and a lot of bright sunshine. The trees are begin ning to bud and the little birds have been singing—so you see there is a sign of spring. Sunday, March 31, 1918. Dear Father: Easter has come and it is a beautiful day, at last. Early this morning it was cloudy and I looked for a rainy day but it has since cleared up and it is also warmer—so we are going to have a beautiful afternoon. Father, spring is here and ev erything is very pretty. France is full of fruit trees; apple, pear peach, cherry, walnut, with grape vines everywhere you look, even on the walls of build ings, stores, etc., where they have been trellised up. The French have in a big crop of wheat, and Irish potatoes grow in great abundance. Wish you could come over and see some of the farms here. They are just like big gardens, with even the yards, terraces, etc., planted in something. Nothing is wasted —not even a foot of space. Thursday April 4, 1918. Dear Sister Julia: Winter has about gone here, for the trees are full of pretty green leaves and the sun is shin ing again; with the little birds singing. I am glad, too, for I have grown tired of the winter. The climate here isn’t so bad, and the French people who live here tell me that the summers iare fine—good and warm like our summers in Georgia. We [have had a great many pretty I warm days already and now that | the Easter cool weather has come and gone I look for Spring in earnest. This is a beautiful country, with every farm in a high state of cultivation—just like a big garden, and lots of fruit of oil kinds, Irish potatoes, oats, wheat, rye, etc., and the pret- ttiest cows I have ever seen. I would send some post cards showing the builings, etc., but you know this is one thing re stricted by the censorship rules. I will bring some home with me when I come. I must now go out to my French leson, but will write again soon. Write often and give me all the news from home. Sunday April 7, 1918. Dearest Mother: I suppose you are reading the daily papers now and know all about what is happening in the war of war news. Suppose all of the Panhandle boys will soon be getting a taste of camp life; well, it will do them good—make bigger and better men out of them. Mother, I have had the oppor tunity to make the acquaintance of some good people among the French here and a few nights ago went to the home of a Major in the French army and had a very nice time, indeed. The father and son are in the army, of course, and at home is the mother and two daughters. One of the girls can speak English and I can speak a little French, so we managed to pass a very pleasant evening. The mother has invited me to come back to her home when 1 can, and they have offered to teach me to speak French. Alll French peo pie admire the Americans, and appreciate the timely aid being rendered by our Govmment. Thursday April 4, 1918. Dear Mother: Am studying French and have been to my class tonight. I think I will like it when I leam enough to speak it fluently with Wednesday April 24, 1918. My dear Mother: We have been having quite a few days of rainy, cool, disagree adle weather, but it is getting somewhat warmer now and I am going to enjoy spring when it gets here in earnest. On Monday evening I went out for a long ride on a bicycle and en joyed it very much. Mother, the roads in France are very good—wide and just as hard as the floor. You can ride awheel miles and miles in one day as the roads are so good and al most perfectly level, being well graded. The country is very thickly settled and when going from place to place, it is like passing through small towns. The people are somewhat differ ent from the people in our Southern states—and I think they are rather quaint. I saw many elderly ladies with little white lace caps standing in the doors as I passed along the road. The houses are, invariably, built of stone, cemnt or brilk and most of thm are very old. The people live in an old-fashioned way in the country dicstricts— the same way, I imagine,they have been living here for hun dreds of yars. The cities have more modem improvements and the people are veiy fashionable, and proud, though democratic. Mr. Lawson is all right; I see him nearly every day. I don’t think I have told you, mother, but I no longer belong to the Suply Company, but to Quarter- piaster Department, Quarter master Corps, and my address appears in full at the head of this letter. Send all mail from this time on, until I notify you further, to this address. Thursday April 25, 1918. My dear Father: I havn’t forgotten, father, that this is your eighty-second birthday, and were I in the Stat es, I would most certainly take dinner with you—and have a long talk about everything. But just now, you know, it is necessary for the young men of America to be away from their homes on the most sacred duty that of upholding the country’s honor and to keep our rights from being trampled upon by the savage Bochs. Were you. here, father, and could learn of the terrible and inhuman crimes com mitted upon innocent women and lit tle children, as well as old men who are helpless on account of age, I am sure that my absence from home would not be felt nearly so keenly as it must now when you need me most. Of one thing, though, you and moth er may rest assured, I am coming back to you—and when we return to dear old America, old Glory will have accomplished her purpose and the French people. It is a be waving triumphantly! The April 29, 1918. |My dear Father: I am well and doing nicely, i Have had very good health since | coming to France and shall try jto keep week I wish it were possible for me to be there with you and mother, but I am in the army servng my government in its hour of need; also, I felt it my duty to offer my sendees and am doing what I can to further our cause. We are going to whip Germany before we listen any of their talk and when the peace talk comes, it will be an unconditional surrender on Germany’s hide. The Stars and Stripes cannot be trampled upon and Germany must poy for slaughtering those innocent wo men and children. I would be so happy to be able to return to you and mother now, but I know you both would not have it oth erwise than it is. It is every man’s duty, and a special privi lege, to support our cause, which is that of right and justice. The United States and her brave allies are sollidly together and the Boche must pay for his crimes. Don’t wory about me, father, for I am going to live such a life and serve my govern ment in such a manner as to cause you and mother no wory. I am coming to you just as soon as I can and I want you to try to get well and keep well for me. - May 1st., 1918. • My dear Mother: Today has been lovely here and I have enjoyed it very much. The sun has been shining and sky almost cloudless just the kind we have in dear old Geor gia. Expect another letter from you tomorrow. Am anxious to hear from father, and from you. Mail has been rather slow in com ing in for the last two or three weeks. Mother, I received a nice pres ent from a young lady friend in Mississippi a few days ago. The box contained handkerchiefs, soap, shaving soap, tooth paste, cold cream, papers, magazines, salted peanuts, chocolates, can dy, cigarretts, etc. Recently received a nice letter from Mr. J. G. Hicks, post mas ter at Reynolds. He said he felt like he wanted to write to me and to say that my letters written to you and father are going home aU right and that he knew you both loved to hear from me. I have written to him in reply. Write me as often as you can. and tell me how everything is getting along at home, . and if you and father are well. I think of you each day and love you.

It is with a sad and broken heart that I try to write of my de parted sister-in-law, Mrs. Minnie Loyd. She departed this life May 10, 1918, making her stay here thirty-three years and eight days. Oh, it is so hard to give her up! She joined the Methodist church in her girlhood days and was ever a faithful member. She was loved by all who knew her, and was always ready with a wil ling hand to help all in need of assistance. She leaves a devoted husband and six little ones, be sides her parents, three sisters and five brothers. May God bless the bereaved family. Weep not as those who have no hope, for it was God’s will to call her home. Oh, dear Minnie, how r we will miss you, but we hope to see you in that home not made by hands. She was laid to rest in Blood- worth cemetery May 11th at 12 o’elock. May the Lord help us to be ready at His coming and bless those she left behind. Written by one who loved her, MRS.
