Hood says he will advise you the situation him as near as he can determine from observation and [?] and our hope is will be something reliable. We would be awfully pleased to see you and if we had the dough would be glad to pay for a trip home- but as much as we would enjoy it we of course couldn't urge you to come [?] if it means only the trip [?] with no definite advantage for your future.

Probably you will hear something tangible on which to base conclusions when you hear from Haad.     

Wish you would call on the proper official promptly and ascertain whether you should register there or here. I rather think it proper to register here and you want to have your card containing proper data in on time. If you get it to me promptly I will take necessary action at once. I suggest if not already done you try and do it immediately. Read the regulations carefully.

The pictures came o.k. from Hattie also a very fine letter. Haad paid her a fine compliment last night when mama asked him if it did her justice (the picture I mean) Haad said no picture cold do her justice She's such a fine young woman and I am of the same impression.

Did you receive my letter written on train the Monday I left N.Y.?

Best love to you
Sincerely Dad.
