Letter 1
The Royal Hotel Winchester
December 5, 1917
My dearest one,
Every thing is so entirely different here that it is hard to get accustomed to it. I have become acquainted with several English officers and spent the evening with them and have been invited out to dinner at their mess, which is quite an honor.
The English seem to like us very well and say that we will be a deciding factor. They take the war as a matter of fact and don't seem to care if the war ends or not. Very nearly everyone you meet wears mourning in some form or other, but they are very cheerful about it.
