Sunday, afternoon, Dee. 2, 1917.
Mr. and Mrs. Briggs.
Dear Friends:
I have heen out seeing the s-'.ghts
every Sunday afternoon since I came
here until this a item Km. I owe so
many letters that I housht I had
"better stay in anil do ny duty. Last
Sunday I was out at Concord and Lexington, was over the old battlefields
where they fought the hattles we used
to study ahout in our old V. S. histories. I was over several miles of
the road which Paul Revere took "art
the 18th of April, 1775," and was a'so
inside the old| town house belfry at
Lexington, where Revere rang tho
bell to wake them and tell, them the
"British war.e coming. I crossed the
old north bridge over thg Concord
r,iver at Concordl where they had, tlie
battle when the British attempted to
take the ammunition and store house.
As you arrive in these places you
are immediately surrounded, by a
flock of boys who solicit the business
of being your guide. There were five
of us and two boys escorted us all
over Concord and explained everything for 25 cents.
We were through the houses where
Hawthorne and| Holmes' lived and
saw where Louise M. Allcott lived'.
They then took us down to Sleepy
Hollow 'cemetery and showed us the
old graves, there are some dating
back to 1633. This is the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen; all
hills and vales with plenty of evergreens, and the monuments are much
more elaborate than those at home,
perhaps because stone is so plentiful
here.
Two weeks ago today we were out
at Bunker Hill in Charleston, had a
short ride to Boston harbor and attended service in old Trinity church.
Tliis is a wonderful building.
This morn ing we went to a Baptist church called Tremont Temple
on Tremont street, Boston. This is
the largest 'church in Boston and
seats 3,800 people. We heard the
best sermon I ever heard. The text
was the foremost questions in every'
soldier's niindj, "Is there a hereafter?"
and "Is it wrong to kill another
man?" You may imagine it was a
rather "deep" discussion, but it was
good and I am glad I heard *t, as
were all the other men from here who
attended!.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving,
even if I was a long v.: y from home.
An aristocratic family i f "Watertown.
a suburban residence district of
Boston, phoned in to headquarters
Wednesday, requesting the pleasure
of entertaining four m-m who were
farthest froni! their hones, so three
other Michigan m.n and I accepted
the invitation. I was elected to call
up the people to say we would come.
A very elaborate five-course dinner'
was served, with the "historical bird"
and) all the trimmings, even to wine.
We were just two hours at the table.
Of 'course we took up a lot of the time
talking, but it took the maid about
onehhalfi of the time to change the
dishes for the different courses. It
was quite a contrast all right to the
service we get in the old mess hall.
We appreciated it highly and told
the p|eople so and I think we madle a
favorable impression as they insisted
that we call again hefore we leave
Watertown Arsenal. The gentleman
of the hous,e, Mr. Loch, is a chemist
"with the Hood Rubber company here.
He was in South America in the
summer, on business about their rubber supply and Mrs. Loch has been
twice to Europe, so you can imagine!
they are very interesting conversationalists*
1 got a box Q'f sweejts 'from home
Fniday, so I can see where I get dessert after my nie&ls "jar about a week.
Am holding any1 own first rate.
Have lost only two p&unds. Some of
our men lose, others ga-in. They are
not very particular about fitting a
man in, uniform. They say, "Those
are near1 enough to it." The poor ones
get fat and) the fat ones get poor, so
■eventually they all fit anyway.

good bye for this time.

THE BE» CBOSS DRIVE
Sluel) is Being: Accomplished in Spite
of "Weather Conditions and
Busy   Season.
Interest in the Weal Red Cross
drive is not as keen as it should be,
principally because it was called at
the time of year when most of tjhie
men who have taken an active interest in previous canvasses are simply
too busy to neglect their work andi
business to the extent they could-
have dpne earlier, or later.
Several of the teachers had charge
of booths at the banks on Saturday
and raised something over §125 for
the cause. At the cantata in the
Presbyterian; church by Miss Mills*'
music pupils, about fifteen dollars
was realized by the voluntary silver
collection.
That no one may ffeel slighted because they haven't been 'called on,
and to hurry the work along as much
as possible, all who have not joined
the Red Cross for 191S are urged) to
fill in the following coupon and mail
at once to W. M. Fowler, Saline, with
tlie amount of their subscriptiota!.
Any amount from §1 up will be gratefully received and a receipt for the
same promptly mailed the remitter:

.Name
Address
Kelly Field, Texas, Dec. S, 1917.
Mr. Sim. R. Wilson,
Editor of The Observer.
Dear Sir:
- I thought I would let the Saline
people know through your _paper how
the aviators get along down here in
Texas.
I have been here in Kelly Field
four months and two days. You
probably have an idjea how we put in
our time, but I shall endeavor to explain more fully.
We are no longer the raw .recruits
or rookies who marched under the
Texas sun the 9th of August from the
station to the camp, hut men. Men
who are hardened into army life by
drill, fatigue and guard d]uty. We
have plenty of hard work, the same
as all branches of the service have,
but I believe none can surpass our
tables.
We get np at 6:00 a. an., stand
reveille at 6:15, after which we wash,
make hunks and sweep out and fall
in line for mess at 6:30. We fall out
for school at 7:00, that is, those
studying gas engines and| airplanes.
The rest drill or go on fatigue. We
return from class and fatigue at 11:00
We receive our mail and wash up for
dinfner at 12:00. We then fall in
again at 1:30 and d|rill till 3:30. After
3:30 till. 4:45 we wash clothes, etc.
5:00 we stand retreat and eat supper
at 5:15, after' which we may go to
San. Antonio or where we wish.
We have Saturday afternoons off
and Sundays. The boys go to 'church
and to the Y» M. C. A. services on
Sunday. The Y. M. C. A. is next to
home.
We are aljl in good health and our,
spirit takes us the restt Whenr, we
get to France we will send our regard's to "Kaiser Bill" from the
clouds.
I am sending a copy of the menu
program from our Thanksgiving
dinner.
Yours truly,
