PS Dear Dick sent me some wonderful
roses on May Day. beauties!
such glorious long stems & colors
they were a great joy & are still.
they were sent through a florist in Oakland!
Many boys are detained some weeks in
Eastern camps so perhaps you
may be & perhaps sent straight
on out. That is what we want
to know - whether you are likely to
be sent out at once [underlined] or not. &
if not your address places
etc - It will not be many [underlined] weeks
in in any case I trust.
We are so thankful to think
that you may soon be with [underlined] us!!
