Graham Bell writes from England.
December 11
Dt.ar Dorothy,
It is hich time I wrote to
you and thanked you for those
♦ pictures and send you what I ■ owe
you for sending those very welcome
pictures to me.
Well to be<_in with, I am iiow in j
England after a dull and uninterest
ing trip across the big pond..Things
are r’ull her also, not very much
t'" write about.
To start at the very beginning
I was still at J.T.Robinson when I
received the picture album,newa
pr■ or,and letter all a.t once. They
arrived in good shape and were sure
welcome.
I finished basic infantry train
ing in goo^ shape and got paid in
time to receive a furlough to see
Mom, Unk. nn^ Gladys. I spent a
rather enjoyable 11 days at home
and four days traveling. Next place
was e month at Camp Shelby, Missis.'.i
ssippi, rather a nice place,better j
than Arkansas by a lone shot.Then
we :ulled stakes and were at an
Erst Coast Camp for a couple of
weeks. Then all of a sudden we
sneaked out under cover of ni^ht* i
sneaked thru New York Gity, onto •
the boat and out of the States.
Just to make things final we sneak
in here.-In a way I like it here,
nice treen gently rollint hills
with pretty little squares offarms ;
*
•lair1 cut everywhere. No mountains,
glaciers, forests, bit rivers,
hunting or fishing of any type t' o.
I wenit into .a sizable little
village 0^.9 pass a coupile of' d! ;r9
aeo, The streets were narrow,
crooked, and crowded.-They seer to
live in one big pile*-The place 1s
high priced as all get cut as i-»
every, ujthe.r place I am told, I
really didn't enjoy myself, la '
expecting a pass to London one < °
these ddys to see the place, I
hope I have more luck there,
I must/'closie now, an'5 wish y i
a very merry Xmas and a cheerful
tbappy New Year. I hope »»anr1s is O.K.
Kiss her for me.
As ever, Graham < ;
