Letter from Lola Sandvik,in France
]>nr Mom,
Well how's everything up there
in the. Ian'’ of the tin can an'5 the
dog? I suppose by n'w fete is home
an'’ ready to go to school. I Imagine
in a few we -ks the work will really
start wi,th spu^s, grain and every
thing. -Soy ^ir1 any of those trees
that Va.nWnrmer, the kir3s and I
planter1 over the fence amount to
anything? I suppose they got quite
a booting from cattle anr1 every
thing. You know Mom I don't think
there is another place in the world
likb Alaska, maybe it's because it':
so comparatively new. All the fel
lows ask me MWhat's there to do up
wh re you live?”Well if they asked
me the same question about Seattle
or L.A. it w ulr’n't take a second
to answer it, but it kin3 of stumps:
me when they ask me something like
ttat about Alaska.EVen after living
up there for 7 1/2 years I know so
little about it myself anr1 there is
so much- I want to know about it
that-1 ran out of words on that
one. I' d^'n’t think we appreciate
the vastness of our forest* areas as
much as we should,'You don’t appre
ciate things like that until you’ve
s ;en some place like England. Why
I kno’t think there is a pisoo of
woods on the whole Island that is 1
over a mile in length, 'an^ every
tree you see looks almost like it
r
has been made in a factory. Things
just don'1 look natural, I hope
Alaska doesn't change tod much in
the future.
The way things are going vsr hp^e
now this part of the war a’ay be over
before very long an^ that will bo
one step closer to the finish when
iwe can all come home again.
Well I've just’about run out of
conversaticn?so I'm goin^ tc q1
now. Hope I hear from all of y. see
Y'-ur loving son, Lai .
