Pouse The following notations, taken from recent letters received by Mrs. L. F. Pouse from her son in France, will be of interest to his many friends: France, Sept. 7, 1918. Dear Mother and All--I am now at my new station after traveling from Tuesday to late last night. I spent some time in Paris, where I took in show, roller rink and some fine meals. I visited the "Louvre," the big store of Paris, and bought some things and sent home. Hope you get them. The store is a wonderful show for any woman, Or lii&it cither. September 9, 1918. We are now pretty well settled in our new place. Tomorrow I'm going to take some pictures forty miles from here and will go over 10,000 feet in the air. It gets pretty cold up there now, but I guess I wont feel it any with my outfit. Yesterday I got some mail that had been forwarded from the last place. I had a letter from Jimmie Doherty and also one from E. J. Heimer. I am glad to hear that crops are fine and the farmers doing their share. I guess when it comes to pulling to­ gether our 'U. S. isn't so bad and it surely is no time for talking now. It's only acts that can count or amount to anything. Don't try to send me anything for Christmas for maybe I wouldn't get it anyway, but you can send me a brand new dollar bill. I'd like to see a real U. S. bill again. September16.

Three or four hours of work in the air every day is considered a day's work, as it is more or less of a strain on a person working in the air. We were out one day observing artillery tire.
