Somewhere in England. 6/2/1918 Dear Father and Sisters:- I arrived safely overseas. Must say I enjoyed the trip from the time we left our Camp in Okla. until we landed at our present camp. And more too, I never got sea-sick, sick of the sea or fed the fish on our trip across the salt-water pond. What short time I have been here I have had the pleasure of seeing much of this beautiful country. Was out walking this evening and I strolled over to one of the big estates near by. It is just as Raymond Flory stated, “very well kept up and one of the very beautiful countries,” Every thing is kept “up-to-now” in the way of farms and highways but, the railroads with little toy like engines and coaches divided into sections seem so much different from the R.R. in the U.S.A. The heavy truck horses are generally driven tandom instead of abreast, and on the left of the streets. In fact, every think is a bit different here, even, the ladies are not as they are in the U.S.A. But the change of scenery and customs makes quite a novelty for we “Bloody Yanks” as the English call us. The word “Bloody” being used over here instead of the familiar “Dam” as in the States. To date I have not received any mail from the States. But by the time you receive this, I possibly will have. When writing please mention all the latest scandal “from me home town” and all news of interest. Tell Mrs. Dyer I have not been able to visit with her sister yet, but hope to be able to before I return. Ray F. is another “Yank” I have not seen, but tell his “Mary” not to fear him leaving her behind. Many things of interest of our voyage and this country I would like to write about, but owing to the censor will have to wait until I return to tell you. Above all, I have the best of health an a good appetite and hope this find all well at home. Give my regards to all. With love to all I close Your son and bro. Milo H. Main. Bat. F. 130 F.A.
