Dear old Sned:

Enclose letter from Mother which
please remail to Les. Jos came home
from Brookdale this am. over the Bear Creek
Road in 2 hrs 52 minutes. He is much better
but Mr. Block at the Mill sent him home
again. Jos says he is 11 pds lighter today than
before he got sick. He had lunch with
me today and will be at our house tonight.

I have taken the car to the garage recommended
by Mr. Buick and will get it back tomorrow
night. They are to take down the engine
and if necessary put in new & larger wrist
pins, overhaul the bearings, take the radiator
off to have the leak mended, and put in new
driving gears. It will cost about $40.00, but I
cant help it. Your book of the 32nd Div
came yesterday. Shall I forward it to you.
brax news. Gallegos Sr came in yesterday
to thank me for bringing his wife home. He
said today that she had quite a lot of pain
yesterday but that she was doing very well.

Lots of love

from Jos & me

your loving father

H L A Bates

I will ask Jos tonight about your coennute[?].
