to a good job in one of the branches of the press section. He is now stationed not far from here. About five o'clock he came in again. I took him out in the garden and entertained him by asking him many questions about himself and listening to all he had to tell me, which is one of the best ways to make a fellow feel good. Then I sent him home loaded up with home papers, and much cheered, I'm sure, by his little visit. This morning in the barber shop I ran into a fellow who ate at the same table with me on the ship coming over. He had been with the Iowa regiment since March. He gave me welcome news that certain of my friends came out alive from the great battle against the Prussian Guards. A barber shop is certainly a great place to learn things. I don't understand why you object to my frequenting such places, m'dear. Yes, I guess I do too. It's because you are afraid the barber will find welts on my skin and tell how my wife abuses me. But, of course, the French barbers don't know I'm married. Let's hope they don't find any welts or the results will be worse than ever. I started to write in the office because the alerte was on. But while I have been at it a rainstorm has come along and poured. Certainly no
