Mr & Mrs J. R. Minton
Aug 20 1923
Dear Friend
I have come back to my childhood home
No more in foreign lands to roam
I miss the loved ones of long ago,
The familiar faces we used to know.
But instead of the parents the children are here,
And new friends give us a welcome sincere,
We thank you all for your words of cheer,
We are glad to come back to friends so dear,
For well we know wherever we roam
There is no other place like "Home sweet Home."

亲爱的朋友 我回到了我童年的家
不再在异国他乡漫游 我想念很久以前的亲人，
我们曾经认识的熟悉的面孔。
但是孩子们在这里而不是父母，
新朋友给我们真诚的欢迎，
我们感谢你们所有人的欢呼，
我们很高兴回到如此亲爱的朋友身边，
因为我们知道无论我们在哪里漫游没有
其他地方，
例如“甜蜜的家”。
