to try to go on a liner -- She has to get passports things
from Washington & she also has to have a
request from Norman for her to come
which she did [underlined] have in a cable; but she
can't find the cable now! -- It takes
about 3 weeks to get these things &
the next liner goes about Nov 16th
so she is getting excited & hustling
hither & thither --- I am glad she has
made up her mind to go.

There is no news dearie that I think
of at point -- but fond love & prayers for you always

Your loving Mother. R. Helen Bates
