My dear Brother
I have just re-
ceived yours. I will send
the paper as soon as I return
to Paw Paw to-morrow.
We shall go into camp here
about the 15
th You need
be in no hurry as you can
see we here, and I can re-
turn to Paw Paw with you
for a few days. You can
then take my duds to Kala-
mazoo. Enjoy your visit
and stretch it out. Tell
Mother I received hers and
will write. Yours in a
hurry. R.B.
Love to all. I do not think I can
go to N.Y. this fall, but will if poss-
ible
