LETTER FROM CRIT ROGERS



December 26, 1918



To the Natchitoches Times:



I am in a small town in France.  I wonder how my old friends in old

Natchitoches are getting along.  Some people like France, but here is one

soldier boy that don't like it at all.



For Christmas we had a big parade and we had President Wilson and General

Pershing with us and as the band played Dixie, every soldier boy wanted to

step.



This is a fine country for some People, but I would sure love to get out of it

and let them have the whole thing.  This little town I am in is Humes, France.

The American girl need not be uneasy about her sweetheart in France, for the

French girls don't look half as good as the American girls.



Good bye with good wishes to every body in old Natchitoches.



Hoping I will be back in a few months.



CRIT H. ROGERS
