My dear son—

 

I must say you are the most sensible man of the whole crowd—[illegible] the money reached us at last, I mean, what a relief. I have to thank you for your nice letter and the photograph which I shall keep all for myself. A.C. said you should have soon a problem—this would have made a perfect [illegible].

     

I was glad to hear from Cora [Cora Germer] that you arrived in Hamburg safely—I saw her last Saturday, she wanted to speak to me—and she did tell me that she had all the confidence in the world towards me—when we finished talking Karl [Karl Germer] came in. What a gentleman? he did not even say good day.

     

She has rang me up since [illegible]. I could not see her, as your [illegible] was ill—being in bed the whole week. I have to do some work for day though—as [illegible] and another gentleman are coming for dinner.

     

I do wish you had stayed another week you silly boy—or were you tired of my company.

     

I am so glad that [illegible] for [illegible]—the dear old man will be pleased—he is so lonely—A.C. is out paying debts. What a relief.

     

I say could you not see that [illegible]—about A.C. debts—these solicitors worry the life out of me—tell them it will be settled as soon as possible.

     

All the best for you my boy.

 

Love.

 

[illegible] Bill.
