Dear Friends and Relatives: -

Received your letter about a week ago and was glad to hear from you and that everyone is well. I am inclosing ten dollars ($10.00) and I want you to get me a suit case over there and bring it over when you come. I would like to have one about 12 inches wide and about 24 inches long, and I think you can get one cheaper over there for me. Youb can pack your clothes in it if you like.

With regard to your money, you will get the $25.00 when you land in this country at New York. I expect to go east in July but I will have someone to meet you at the train if I am not here. Be sure to let me know when you intend to start so thatv I will know when you will be here,

There is'nt much work in this country at the present time but we will try to land you a good job when you get here, One thing is certain and that is that we will have a place to stay and enough to eat.

Hoping you are all well at this time as we are, I am,

Yours till I see you,

W. W. Weinhardt.
