fine Canadian out door games!
Well dearie I must write to Nor – so had better
close this.

Everyone asks for news of you – Mrs. Lion
rang up a little while ago for that purpose
and because she remembered it was
your birthday –

May God bless and keep you always
dearest and give you many
many happy birthdays and bring
you back to us safe and
sound, yet having done your duty.
It is splendid to have such an
opportunity dear. I realize that.
It is worth while to have lived, if
only for such an one. Always

[continued on left margin]:
dearest Your loving Mother R. Helen Bates.
