Dear Folks:
Do not know how soon this will go out as the censor has his hands quite full with a stack of mail to be censored but I haven't written for a few days and perhaps the other mail is out of the way now and this can go forward to you.
We are in another place and like it fine although it couldn't possibly be a nicer place than the last one. The people there were so agreeable and we were getting nicely acquainted. This seemed to be a better educated class of people in the last town and they were great lovers of music.
We are billeted in a house barn. Part of this building is used as the house and the rest for a barn. We are in the hay loft and have made some very comfortable beds. The other side of the building downstairs is used for the cows and chickens. Our French landlady is very good to us. She has an apple orchard at the back fo the house and gives us apples. Last night she made us a big jar full of apple sauce and it was delicious.
This morning for breakfast we had coffee, bacon, biscuits and jam. The biscuits were baking powder biscuits I guess although I must confess that I know very little about such things.
Eggs sell for three francs a dozen (about sixty cents). Clark and I bought two apiece the other evening and had them scrambled.
The people are, in the main farmers here. They use oxes instead of horses. They dress quite like Americans but wear wooden shoes.
Am getting very anxious to receive our mail but it should reach us soon now - unless we move again very soon. We never know when we are going to move or where we are going.

Will be 29 in seven days.
