Aug. 5 - 1912

My dear old Sned:

It seems over a week since any of us
have heard from you, and I hope that you
are not sick. There may be a letter at
the house today from you but of course I
shall not know until I get there.

I want to know when you are going to come
home, not that I want you to come if you
are not ready, but I want to know when to
expect you. We are all well at home.
On Saturday Mother Les & Joc went to hear
Pinafore. I went with Colonel Saturday pm
to see Louisiana Loo. Tomorrow night we
all go to hear Patience, and next Saturday
to hear the Pirates of Penzance. Give my
love to Henry Effie and Alice, you must
have had a fine time with them.

There is no news. Richard says he expects
to leave for home on the 24th which would
bring him here on the 28th.

Lots of love,

your affectionate Father

HLABates
