It will be such peace to see you and
hold you once again.

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. I got up at seven this morning so
excited that I could not sleep and have been to the baths,
where I was received like the President of the Republic. In
fact everybody seems to have only the kindest recollections of
us and to be glad to have us back.
