Your letter awaited us here in Nimes Saturday. Thank you for your letter which was quite a surprise. We're amazed how fast it came to Nimes.
Our hotel in Paris was within sight of the Eiffel Tower. Dad is trying to get on I-net – unsuccessful this afternoon so hopes for better luck tonite. Nice group about36-40 people. The woman leader knows Mary Virginia & her children. MV led the music where she was the Director of School of Missions.
