No. 33 Ferry Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan,
October 17th., 1906.

My dear Friend Migeon:-

I was delighted to receive your letter written the day you were leaving the steamer and the other one from Tokio, dated September twenty-fifth. It is a pleasure to know that Japan meets with your expectation and I am not surprised at your disappointment in the Pacific - an ocean with a most deceiving name. I, too, have been tossed for days at a time by the gentle (?) Pacific on board of a Canadian Pacific Steamer. I might have told you about this while you were in Detroit, but I was hoping that you might possibly strike a smooth passage. However, now that the Pacific voyage is over, you will, I trust, soon forget it and lose yourself in the charms of Japan. 

The attention being given you by Messrs. Yamanaka, Morimoto, Hayashi and Matsuki, is what I knew you would receive. They are all splendid men and they all recognize that you have done a great deal for the art of their country in France. You to them are of greater consequence
