Dear Rhea, Well we got home all right. Auntie Augustine as you know came home with us. Everything is going well, and I feel confident papa will come out all right. We were all down at cousin May Potts for Sunday. She lives at the beach and is the mother of Moreen who looks like Blanche Sweet as I told you. When you come over we'll go down there. I think you two would get on well, both being so pretty and nice. (I need that quarter badly really) Now speaking of seeing you over here, how would you like to see a fellow this Saturday. Papa and auntie are going to Bridgeburg on Friday until over Sunday. As I do not like to ask off so soon after being away a whole week I cannot go, but thought I would run over to your place Saturday afternoon (as we do not drill) and return Sunday afternoon. So if you would really consider tolerating me that long and it is perfectly convenient for your mother, I will do so. So please answer by return of mail whether it is convenient and if not I will got to the Falls. I want to go to Bridgeburg when I have a day or two off, so I can see everybody there. I have been having a strenuous time in the Army, we report at the Varsity gymnasium at 8:30 and have physical drill in the gym in a gym suit till 9:45 then we run 1 1/2 miles on the stadium track; drill with rifles till 12 and again from 1:45 to 4:30. So you see we walk or run millions of miles a day. Well I will stop now as I want this letter to go off tonight. So dear cousin of mine I will be awaiting a note from you, but don't hesitate to say no if it is in any way inconvenient for me to come Cousin Henry
