Mr dear Edward –

We have not known where to address
you, but yesterday I met Mr. Spear who
said if I sent a letter to his house, he would
take it up Saturday I believe.

Mother is 7 miles N of Calistoga. She and
Edith went there a week ago today. Jocelyn
and I go up tomorrow night. He will
stay two weeks, but I get back Monday about
10 AM, and I shall then be alone in the
house until they get back.

Mothers address is

c/o Mrs. Mollie Patton
Toll House
via Calistoga Cal.

We got a fine letter from Lesley written
June 1st from Mollendo, Peru. No letters
recently from Nor or Dick, but this
morning's Examiner says all the Cadets
were received by the Pope and received the
apostolic blessing. Mr. Spear gave me
good accounts of you and of the trip. He
seemed to enjoy it very much himself.

There is no news. I suppose you will
not be back for at least 3 weeks yet.
Love from us all, and kindest regards to Mrs. Spear
and the boys.

your loving father
