Mr. Hans Weinhardt,

Germany.

Dear Friends and Relatives:

Your letter of the 27th. of July rec- eived and glad to hear from you and that the folks are all well. We are all well at the present time and think work will be pick- ing up around here in a short time.

You state in your letter that you do not know what boat to come on. You are to come on the American boat that will leave Hamburg, Germany. I do not know if there is any special name that the boat has but If you cant find it you can write to the company that issued your ticket.

This letter of yours was delivered to the wrong address and that is the reason that I did not write sooner. I just got it today. I want you to start as soon as possible, for if you cant start by the last part of October I will have to cancel the ticket.

With best wishes and hoping that you will be on your way soon, I am, as ever,

Yours,

W. W. Weinhardt.
