My Dear Mrs. Morton and Nondas,
The last time I wrote to you I was in Rio de Janeiro. Since then I arrived here since December 1st. I am living very comfortable boarding with a French Lady and also two boys from the Company are here, too.

Also a newspaper clipping so you see your friend do well for herself. Also,
[p. 2]
I received letters from Mama so I am not so worried anymore. How goes it with you dear friends? I received a letter from Mr. Dandre who was in New York. He asks us to come back to the Company if we can next April and join them in Brazil. They did not go to Mexico but to Puerto Rico, but since I have received no news how the Company is. From you also for a long time I have receive no news. Please write to the address I gave you on top of the letter. I am just writing a few lines to let you hear from me. Other news I have not got, I have rather bad cramps in my stomach that’s why this letter is so short and curt. But dear friends I want you

to get it by the next mail that goes out. How is dear Nondas and dear Billie? Did you receive the letter I wrote you from Rio de Janeiro? I hope so. Please write soon. I will write soon too.
Love and Kisses from Your Friend
