WEST DUMMERSTON.George Willard Writes from France.Mre. Samuel Clark of thia place ha* juat received two letter* from her brother, Deorge F. Willard, who i* with the American expeditionary force in Franlt;-e. lie writes:Dear Sixtor:lu*t u few lines to let vou know I am well and hope this linda you all the same. As 1 understand it', you cannot send me any more la.xes unless I send fot them. It may be that they want to get the back mail straightened out. 1 hear there is a lot of it tied up here in France and probably iny txixert are among them.I urn Maying in an old fort and there are many interesting placet* in it; do not know how long we have to May here, but it is much Wtter than trench lift* at that, although we have to get a pass to go out. I juat got a box from Bennie and it was full of maple sugar and it is the best thing I have eaten since I have been in France. It made me feel some-what blue to think that I am so far away trom the things that give us pleasure. But when I get that way my mind wanders .back to that little verse. “Let not your heart l*e troubled.” You do not know how much comfort those six words have been to me in these days of strain.With love to all.Dear Sister:.lust a few lines to let yon know that I have just got back from the trenches again. The boche tried to drive us back, but could not do so, for our artillery is too strong for them. Somehow they do not like our big shells bursting all iround them. I can say that we have one of the best artillery there is anywhere. Well, I do not see where that i hr is t mas box is. Have leen looking for it all the time and will be some glad when I get it. Your loving brother, OEORftE F. WILLARD.
