Dear Marcia:–
Your two letters of August 8th and 15th were awaiting me on my return from Paraguay. That I was pleased to hear from home goes without saying it. Then too, the photos; which I believe is that of my baby, although you do not say so, pleases me more than I can tell. Wish that I could see all of you this Sunday morning — not here in Argentina but at home. Wouldn't I be a tickled man though? My time is now a little more than half gone that I am engaged for. If by any hook or crook I can finish before I will come home before the 1st of next April, thought I cannot now imagine how that could be since there still remains so very much to be done before I can call the studies complete and have written my final and full report which will have to be done before I leave for home.

As to your meeting me in Chicago with the two older girls it is a little early just now to say; but I cannot imagine why you couldn't. Wouldn't you rather come on to Washington instead? I feel as if I ought to stop there for a day or two on my way

Love to all.
Yours,
Lawrence Bruner.
