264 [[symbol checkmark]] 33 Ferry Avenue, East, Detroit, Michigan, April 27th. 1909. Mr. S. Yamanaka, C/o Yamanaka & Company, 68 New Bond Street, London W. England. Dear Mr. Yamanaka:- I have your kind note of April 15th, enclosing a timetable of the Siberian Railway, and wish to thank you for your kindness. I have not decided fully, concerning my visit to China, but, I have it under consideration, and if I include that country in this year's journeying, I shall hope to be in Pekin during September and October. As you know, I have never been in any of the interior cities of China, and, I feel it important to see at least Pekin and remain there long enough to do some other interior traveling, should I deem it desirable to do so, after having investigated the possibility of a few of such trips. I would also like to see something of Manchuria and Corea, but, as both of these countries are entirely new to me, I am, as yet, entirely undecided whether or not to make the venture. I have engaged passage on the Hamburg-American Steamer Amerika, sailing from New York on May 15th, and shall go direct to Paris. After visiting there for a while, I shall spend some time in London, and then return to the Continent. Trusting you are keeping very well, and with kindest regards, I remain, Very sincerely yours, Charles L Freer
