Dear friends;

Have been wanting to answer your inquiry that you wrote me in the letter to your folks some time ago in regards Feves, France. I have written to the schoolmaster there and told him that you were intending paying their town a visit in the near future, and he replied that he would be more than honored to show you around the place, but that Saturday and Sunday were the only days that he had available, as he teaches school the other days. I am enclosing his address, and you might write him direct, as that would be more reliable. He cannot speak any English and there�s only one person there that can, and I understand that she is not there all the time, so you had better study up on your French, or else take some kid along that can interpret for you. I am sending you two rolls of 35-mm colored via air mail Eastman film to take some colored pictures for me, and if you want some for yourself, I would suggest that you take two of each subject, as that would be cheaper than having an extra set made from the one set. I am also sending you a black and white so you can take some closeups of the children and older folks, with their names. This sounds like a big order, and if it�s more than you have time for, just skip it. The letter from the teacher, sounded as if the town was really excited to think that one of Morganville�s girls should pay them a visit, so be prepared for a royal welcome. They know about Homer Christenson, as he sent them some Xmas candies. Mrs. Menard and Mrs. Canfield have had letters from the priest there, and a few of the school children have written to some of their school children. If you want any other dope, before you take your trip, let me know at once and I will try and let you know.

Sincerely,
