Copland, after a very Interesting trip across the waters. Wish I could tell you the places that we visited on our way urrojt* but that is impossible owing to censured mail, but suffice to say that it was wonderful; also that many things of interest occured. things that will be engraved on my memory a* long as I snail live, so when I see you again can remember them easily. We went by rail through England, which is a very interesting country, tho Houses all built as our tenements in the city, but kept in much better shape of course; the farms nil being very small about like our town lots ami separated by stone walls or hedges, all nicely trimmed and small, beau tlfid bills, etc. Every one waved at n.« as we pnssid. and it was funny riding in these care ov.-r hen*, all compartment? you know We then arrived at a rot camp in England and were (hero n very short I’mcand crossed the channel into Krnr.ee when- we remained u few day* uiv1 were then sent h.-tv to our Itnse (Vnter. • It took us 2 days and 2 night.' to cross France and the travel Is very unsatisfactory, com|kired to our trains nt home, hut we stood the trip very well, and arrived safe and —mm) and are Id Ret ted in a very old purl of France It is what is called the Californ'u of Fran-e; the only ilmw back Is the ,ain. hut the native, lu-re all wear wooden shoe? for ruhltvrs so they get along fine t)ur division is seattered over slt;-v-eral towns and that makis t nice for me as i ran make the trip euch day ami I love to ride through the country.

They use oxen, a great many of them aie seen. They ure all very nice to us and try’ hard to please us. I am very thankful for the little French that I learned while Staying at Camp Cody; it comes in mighty handy now. There are great many things of interest around here, among them the Cast It- of Montesquieu, which I had the pleasure of visiting. You remember one of them was a great author; the Count was. Well this place has been in the same family since the luth Century and is wonderful w ith its woiidt rful mole all around it; laid to cross :) draw bridges to get to the castle, with the wonderful gold fish and swans fbaiting around in all their beauty. Saw the wonderful place where theyused to put people chut they didn’t want any more remembrance f. where they wanted tlt;, have no one know what became- of them; massive stone doors that slide buck in tInwall and tin- stairs about 2 f.-.-t wide ending in a straight drop in many feet of water. 1 can imagine now how one could |i»uiid. hello, etc.. without bothering any one.1 took a candle and went to the bottom step; sure waa wonderful to me. Wish I could explain all lt» grandma's but I am put able to do so.
