Letter: Jack Bentley to Cornelia Bentley, October 22, 1924

[in top right hand margin] Oct 22nd 1924 PHONE 4400 ROYAL Midland.. Adelphi.. Hotel-- Liverpool..

Dearest Mother: Well back in Merry Old England this morning finds me just as happy as I can be outside of a longing for you all which has become a constant

affliction with me.

The trip over was rather rough, enough so to make twenty of the party sick but I never turned a hair.

The service on the boat, which was a Canadian Pacific liner, measured up to the wonderful standard set by that company.

Our plans are a little indefinite right now - as near as I know tho' we are in Paris about the 8^th of Nov.

I met a wonderful couple of army folks from Alexandria who knew all of our friends in Alex. and Gen. [Ruhu?], he was the Gen. adj. & was near

me in France. Their name was [Jennet?] or Stewart.

There is a wonderful bunch of fellows on board this trip.

We trained the best, and believe me I was in for some trip.

Love Jack
