My own dear boy.

You can guess how pleased
we were yesterday when I
was called to the phone to
be told that there was a
cable for me from France.
It was read to me & sent
over by mail it was the Postal
Telegraph Co this time & was headed
France –

"Safe. Love. Bates."

The Dodge has come back from repair shop so stiff we
have to start it by hand –
