here, as I cabled you to do two weeks ago through Mrs. [[Crine?]].

This is purely a "financial letter" - but worlds of love as ever goes with it.

No further developments regarding George sittings.

I have engaged passage, (and paid $50 down), on Mauretania which sails sometime between the 13h & 23d of Sept. People are begging in vain to get on any boat up to Nov. 1st.  They saved the last berth there was for me on the Mauretania, and said I was mighty lucky to get that, But it is a lovely feeling to feel that I am headed for home, and nice to be among English speaking people, and with Johansen.

Again best of love to you & Jerry & Marion & Wendell,

Affectionately Douglas.

Transcription Notes:
There were two ships named "Mauretania." The first one sailed between years 1906 - 1934. A new one was built and sailed between years 1939 - 1965.
