Dora Says The Weather Must Be Better In Syria Than In Pittsburgh
Dear Readers,
Here I sit in Pittsburgh and watch the snow fly outside my bedroom window. I dream of Edward over there in the Syrian Desert riding with Lawrence. I think that the weather must be much warmer over there. And I bet it doesn't snow!
No wonder he can sit in his tent at night and write me long missives. He doesn't have to have heaters or fires. He talks about blankets because of the chilly desert nights in the winter. But in the daytime it gets quite warm.
When I read about the Western Front in the Pittsburgh papers I see that Edward is in a very different theater. He doesn't fight in trenches. He fights on a camel. And he doesn't fight every day. Nor are the soldiers on the Western Front blowing up Turkish railroads with tulip bombs. Nor do they ride through colorful Roman cities like Petra to hide from the enemy.
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P. S. I bet Syria beats the Lusitania, too!
