Darneals who don't get their letters
though their families write too [two] or
three times a week! & the families
are all right – only the letters fail
to get there, so we tell you this so that
you may not worry too much if you
don't hear from us regularly though
we may be writing often.

I must close this at once or miss
the mail –

Our fondest love and prayers
go with you always darling boy.

Write regularly if you possibly [underlined] can for
you know how we will long to hear & send
us the best address promptly please.
Worlds of love from us all –

Your devoted Mother -

R. Helen Bates
