Arrived at Tours at 6:30. Got out to

of the old boys here. Some of them have

of the place lead me to believe that I
will like it here very much. The quarters
are crowded, but the food is splendid, and
we have French girls to wait on the table.
No more washing of our own dishes.

Took in the movies at the Y.M. and saw

The first good picture that I have seen

are raising Hell on the Aisne. They
have Vailley and Fismes.
