P.S. We went over to see Mr Firbelis [illegible]
yesterday who has been far from well
for months. He & Mamie send there [their]
"best" to you & Mamie said tell him
I am holding the good thought for
his safe return" ---

I know you will always be glad
you were "over there" dearest. You
are I know having the joy of seeing
the enemy driven "back and
back" Praise God it will continue
as Dick says. He and Nor are
simply wild that they are not
there too. For their sakes I wish
they could be. Les will be very soon I think.

Lovingly Mother.
