Of course we boy's are not quite that bad[ly] [page cut off] scattered because Deutschland is not large enoug[h] [page cut off] or I have no doubt we would be located farther apart than we are. Pa asked me for the address of the boy's. The best way to do for people who do not expect to write too often to send our mail all to 36 Postgasse, Bern, Schweig. The Presidency there always know just where we a[re] [page cut off] and though it takes about two days longer it i[s] [page cut off] better to give this address to my friends, outside th[e] [page cut off] family, & when you write the boys, write to tha[t] [page cut off]
