Office July 18/10 Monday 2 pm

My dear Edward

I have just received your postal of
the 16th, that you will not return to the 30th or
31st. This is satisfactory to me, if you are
enjoying yourself and your foot is not
giving you any trouble. I am glad to know
that you and Bull have been commended,
by Mr. Fisher for having done your duty.

We are all well at home today, though
Dick was sick Sat night or Sunday, and
Jocelyn last evening, both with symptoms
of having eaten something which has
poisoned them. They are all right today.
Les has a cold. Mother & I are both well
and we all wish we were at Fallen Leaf.
The weather is fine here now. Nor says
it is so hot, that he shedies in his room
all day without any clothes on. He will
be through next Friday and will probably
go to Netcong to see Anna.

Love from us all Your loving Father

HLA Bates
