12th Sept. 1916. Assen, Holland. Dear Em: I guess you will get
my letter along with this card explaining things. You will know
that I have escaped from Germany and am on my way to England but
will write you every chance I get. Give my love to the boys and
I hope all is well at home. I am feeling pretty good. This is
where I am just now. Yours ever, Ed.

Dear Ted: I received your P.C. quite safe. I did a little dance
on my own. Charlie Walker is away somewhere. How are Dennie and
Nobler going on. You may be sure I was pleased to hear of you
getting in port safe. Sorry to hear you got wrecked on your
first trip but you have no worry now. Good Luck. Ted.
