Conger Reynolds correspondence, April-December 1919

1919-12-09 Daphne Reynolds to John and Emily Reynolds Page 6

Well, we'll be nice and warm while the coal lasts, but of course one ton won't last always.  It seems that the fuel proposition grows worse instead of better. 
Paris is certainly representative of anything but "Sunny France".  We haven't seen the sun more than five minutes or so a day for weeks, and many days it rains all day long and there isn't a sign of sun.  About two thirty in the afternoon it begins to get dark, and by four thirty it is night.  Lovely, lovely country -- not.  And in spite of all this, there are interesting features. We haven't begun to see the interesting places here in Paris, it seems, and there are so many places of historical interest in the little places nearby that I'd love to see - and probably never shall because I can't go alone.  Conger has been many of the places, and naturally he isn't keen about going again, especially this kind of weather, even of he were free to go when he liked.
