Most revered Friend,
The Jews go to a committee until they must travel by bus for their own
money.

I am leaving tomorrow morning, the
8th, arriving Chicago on the afternoon of
the 9th. I will stay overnight there and try to do the same in Salt Lake City. My exact
arrival time I can only cable from Salt Lake City. Would you be so kind as to await me? I
would otherwise be so lost!! With my best regards to your dear wife,
