Dear Little Helen:
It is Sunday to–day here in South America just as it is at home where we see the "stars and stripes" floating in the wind every day. But I can't go to Sunday school because there is none here in . The town is about as big as West Point but there is only one church — and that is Catholic. People work just the same as on other days during the fore — moon, and then in the afternoon they have horese races and get drunk. That is a good many of the people do these things. I myself stay at home and write letters during the fore — noon, then go to the hotel for breakfast and in the afternoon if I have anything to read I stay at home and read. If i have nothing to read I just do nothing and sleep. Sundays are my homesick days. Week days I am too busy to think much about home.
I was very much pleased with your letter that came in the same envelope along with one from Psyche and one from baby Alice. Alice must be very cute now that she can run all about and talk. Isn't she? When you write
