It will be such peace to see you and hold you once again.
DICK.
AIX-LES-BAINS.
July 6th, 1900.
DEAR FAMILY: Cecil and I arrived last night tired and about worn out--we had had a month on board ship and two days in the cars and when we got out at Aix and found our rooms ready and Francois waiting, we shouted and cheered.
It was never so beautiful as it looked in the moonlight and we walked all over it, through the silent streets chortling with glee.

They could not give us our same rooms but we got the suite just above them, which is just as good.

They were so extremely friendly and glad to see us and had flowers in all the rooms.

We have not heard a word about Chas yet, as our mail has not arrived from Paris, but I will cable in a minute and hear.

We cannot wait any longer for news of him.
