Tanious Girgis, 
Keneh, Egypt.

My Dear Sir:-
Your letter of January 20th was received and would have been answered before but for the reason that I have been thinking about visiting your country sometime early this year. Now I have decided to be there some time in May. This being the case, it is better for you not to ship the piece[[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]] of porcelain which you asked permission to send me via the American Express Company. It will be much better for me to see anything you wish to show me while I am in Egypt. It is difficult to ship porcelains or other fragile articles to America, and I would not like to have you take the risk of their being broken or damaged on the journey.

When I get to Cairo I will communicate with you. Hoping to see you either in Cairo or Keneh, I am, 
Yours truly,
Charles L Freer

Transcription Notes:
Cannot figure out the crossed-out words and the word "communicate" has missed a part as the stain - not sure if is it randomly or purposely. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-22 10:30:58 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-22 16:04:06 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-23 08:36:37 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-03-23 11:06:37
