 It is with pleasure that I have made the acquaintance of your son Frank, who IS enjoying the best of health. He has accompanied me to my home and my mother has given him hearty welcome; the more so because I have a brother at the front and my father is mobilized under German shells.
 hope that this visit will remind him, to a certain extent, of his dear home and family, although the house we live in is not our own, we having been forced to leave Nancy owing to German bombardments I know. Mr. Cote, that my acquaintance with your son greatly pleased him, for being alone in a strange country is not agreeable to young man. I shall spend most of my spare time visiting places of interest with him that he may forget. partly, at least, he is far away from home. We have planned to visit the home of Joan of Arc. who saved France from England in 1929.
 Frank will call on me this evening TOT the second time and if weather is favorable we shall take a stroll to- gether.
 Truly yours.
