    Well My Dear Son,

    You see we have got back to Barrow. Our visit to the Isle of Man was very pleasent. Was their 3 weeks and was ready to leave. Everything crowded with visitors. We intended to stay till it was nice day to come back on so we would not be sea sick, but the Boss finaly decided that we had better go on Wednesday. Then of course it came pretty strong wind. Made the sea rough, but we had eat up about all our provisions and in this respect was in good shape to go. So decided to go regardless of the weather. The consequence was the "S.S. Vicking" rolled us arround very much and nearly everybody got sick. Except that good little sailor that got sick on the Atlantic.…

    I was glad you was getting good rest while Dr. Cushing was away. And I hope you can perswade those millionares that it is esential that they should have a doctor with them to Yellow Stone Park. They might get sick, anyhow it would be nice trip for you. You would feel big in a private car.

    I looked or expected you would tell us how the person you operated on got along, the one that came for Dr. Cushing after he left.…

    Well I think my gold mine is going to come out all right.… I never had chance to marry millions but you wait till the mine gets down to good work. Then if you don't marry millions I may make you millions from the gold mine.…

    Your affectionate Father
