Of Topeka, Kansas

Office: July 2/09

My dear Edward:

I got your letter of the 1st today and
was glad to find you were still having
such a good time.

I am sorry to find that there is
probably a thief among the boys in your
camp and I hope that Mr. Fisher will
find him, and send him home.

Lesley's address is
Gradon's Camp
c/o Western Pacific R.R.
Oroville Cal

I have addressed your envelope and
sent it on to him.

Norman is well and so am I. Dick
seems to like his work and apparently
will remain until the end of this month.

Lesley will be home about the 12th
I suppose as he says he will quit
on the 10th.

Lots of love from
your loving Father
H L A Bates
