He re it is early two i f th s-iuce you wrote e, and 
I hr”, not had the‘decency to send you & ^frl of sympathy m your 
lonliness, ec even to acknowiegc- trie dainty little 1 iidmap-. you 
pent me. Some day nil know -why tiiese things are. At this age 
the problems of life :J nd death are brought very close, and now in 
this world's crisis with so may of our young m<-.-n giving their 
A. 
liv d for what they think is just and right, on mint feel that 
the Power who has ordered the whole world and given us the soul 
and mind to get at least a glimpse of the scheme and mderstand 
some of the 1 —s bv which it is run, will not now let these lives 
be given in v.in, and that the end on the battle field or in the 
home is not an end, but only a stop, what w e call a "transfer" 
We are working hard and very tired,, elp is hard to get 
and almost prohibititive in price. We are keeping two to do some 
necessary work and have to pay them #70.00 and board each. But 
the crops have got to go in and -~e have to do what we can to keep 
the boys fed. It is all we can do. While the American people nave 
not yet felt the war as Europe has, it is a source of great wonder 
to me that they have been willing to submit to the regulation of 
their daily lives as they have, and I glory in it. Tiere are, of 
course, individual instances of people who do not seem to realise 
what we are in or how -~ e must suffer before we get out, but the 
people as a whole seem to me to be doing wonderfully well.
