Leete— Excerpts from letter from Ensign now in the British Isles, tells a bit about the sights he ‘sees in Scotland. I'd like you, right now to find me fa good flat, pocket flash light, the best you can find, and two batteries * and two bulbs.

These millions of grates throughout the nameless ‘ages have contrived to dye the grey ‘field stone.of which all Glasgow was built, a shade so near sable that only the Srighiest day makes it grey. And when the brightest day comes and drives away that Sane abe pea-soup foz away. The tallest building-I’ve seen there is about séven stories, and many of them look as if they were built by tthe Druids. I will bet a pair of my »gold plated baby shoes that Glasgow ‘will look precisely the same in another five hundred years because when I was at*the Glasgow Art Gallery yesterday I saw plans for proud that make Whritopher, Wren’s work look as tadical as the shining glass and steel beauties along Collins avenue in Miami Beach, or: the -glossy airplane bs . houses in Berkeley. Hills. Glasgow—the Scots pronounce it Glahsgo—is much larger than Boston, and its leading hotel, the Beresford would compare favorably in ‘all ways except sanitary convenienc‘es with the Hotel Stockton, providing the Hotel Stockton has not im_ proved any since I last gave them a bit of my custom.

Open in the afternoon are the coffee shops, which sell tea and a conecoction made of half coffee (brewed in some unimaginable: fashion) and half hot milk. It tastes like hot milk, it looks like tan hot milk, but it is coffee. So be it. And, if you want them, they have sandwiches the innerside of which (due to war shortages) are very thinly coated with delightful salmon pastes. The streets are much like Boston’s in width, and most of the.cars are about 1925 vintage, no later, I ‘ along the‘buses, ;er,and skinnier. Service men ride on o U §S cents.) The people's dress_ is countrified and. a bit shabby—but this at least in large part, is due to war shortages.

The Glasgow people are polite and well spoken, with much better manners than we find at home, and very trip, there clad in a blue wool shirt with ‘my blués:. One can understand the Scotch people talk all right—if you lister mighty sharp. First of aH, they clip off their words very muth, use a very board a, and the biggest difference of all is that they have other words than we for many’ common things.

As a whole, the people seem to be quite jolly despite the’ war and their somewhat gloomy 6urroundings. The place hasn’t been extremely fF bombed since the blitz of September so they’re not too nervous about Jerry. For a while I paid everything with pound notes but now I have the money figured down to a gnat’s eyebrow—or as a matter of fact down to a gnu’s tail. Pounds, shillings, pence,. florins, half crowns, all of them: looking like four bit pieces. Since I’ve been. here I’ve been on the go constantly. This job took a lot of organizing at first, and a lot ways takes time, and of course, you know me the pepetual sight seer, I was the first one to go to Glasgow and the last to leave, and the most frequent visitor.
