Alfred Chapman, Esq.,
17 York Street,
Liverpool, England.

My dear sir;-
I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th instant and am pleased to know that the two volumes of Lafcadio Hearn's Life, were received safely.

A cablegram received,a few days ago, from Mr. Freer at Cairo, informs us that he sailed from Port Said on Monday last, the 21st instant, for Ceylon, where he expects to remain for two weeks, sailing thence to Java. There is hardly sufficient time in which to reach him by mail at Ceylon, and his address at Java is C/o Hong Kong-Shanghai Banking Corporation, Batavia.

Very truly yours,
JM Kennedy
