My dearest friend Billie (Permit me the liberty)
A few days ago received both yours and Nondas’s darling letters dated Jan 18th. It is the first since last Jully, I soppose like Mama you wrote to the Co's address and all those letters have been lost. Yes mail takes a terrible long time if the letter catches a freight Boat it takes 2 months and if it gets a passenger Boat only one month. The next boat leaves here on the 20th which I think will only take 30 to 32 days. I am so pleased to hear that you and my Mama are corresponding together. As I wrote you before you know all the particulars of how I got here and how I worked etc. But since December I have not worked but have been rehearsing & working up new programs for the season which has started and up to this time and still I have had all my expenses paid and pocket money so that I should not go and work any where elese. I did not refuse as I have very good prosspect with Mr. Jacoveleff who is a wonderfull artist, and has a big reputation as being the finest Russian Dancer (chacher) and does wonderfull Pirouettes.
