What was intended to be a brief note has spun itself into a long letter, but I must add that aside from my ankle, which prevents walking as much as I would like, I am very well and more than delighted with my experiences in Palestine and Syria. Now Constantinople! Our ship is due there on July 1st and I shall mail this letter from there. 

With all good wishes to yourself and family, I remain as ever
Very sincerely
Charles L. Freer

P.S. I know you will be glad to know that I have a letter of introduction to the best private collector in the Turkish Empire - at Constantinople 

1616
