Dear Mother:—
I am in the Y. M. C. A. building in Spartansburg with Charles. I am very happy. It is a beautiful day and I have just finished a fine breakfast, after a fine ride out from camp in the invigorating moutain air.

Three Fighters in One Family
(From Brooklyn Eagle) Three brothers, well-known to Free- porters, are doing their bit to help Uncle Sam win their war. They are Lloyd R. Cutler, Stuart Cutler and Merritt C'ltler, the sons of T. R. Cut¬ ler of Porterfield Place. Each is in a different branch of the service. Lloyd, who is first assistant quartermaster. Fourth Battalion, First Division, Na-

The two parties shared the other offices.

In a few minutes we will go to church, where I will experience a whole lot more of good feeling to in¬ crease my pleasure during this day, which I look forward to during the week. There will be nice people to see and talk to and remind me ©f home, pretty girls and little laugh¬ ing children. It all has a wonderfully good invigorating stimulating effect on you after being down in trenches with nothing in either side but dirt walls, flirt on your face and hands, and down your back. After the week's grind, of running—running, selling up exercises for an hour at a time, and bayonet drill, which exhausts you so, you simply lay down and gasp, with not an ounce of strength left sometimes.
And then this afternoon a fine hot bath and swim in the Y. M. C. A. pool, after a satisfying meal. To sit under a hot shower and sweat the dirt out of your pores, so that you can sweat more in next week, and finally the bracing ride back through the foothills to camp in an automobile through the glows of these wonder¬ ful sunsets they have down here. I never saw such exquisite coloring as some of these sunsets and sunrises produce. We simply stand in wonder- awed by it.
Well mother, I have taken up quite a little time first explaining how I look forward to enjoy and benefit by my weekend trips to Spartansburg, but I don't want you to think I am spending my money extravagantly, as the whole day only costs about $2 or $2.50, and it seems so very simall, measured by how I enjoy it, and how it braces me up. The thought of joining the "Camouflage" in Washing¬ ton and getting into something which will be more interesting to me, makes all my tasks seem lighter.    Of course
