    Dear Mother and Father,

    I hope you are over the results of sea passage and now feeling well. I am sure you soon will be, as I have a beautiful place picked out for you and have some furniture ready for you though not so much. I am glad you are out of range of the war as it won't be long before travel will not be so safe.

    It doesn't matter to what station you come; it would be a little more convenient to come over the Pennsylvania. You wouldn't have to cross the ferry. But if you don't let me know to the contrary. Will look for you in the B&O-Mt. Royal Station. You had better send me a telegram so I will know what time you will arrive. You had better mention the station also. Take a Pullman from New York. It is much nicer.

    I am looking and feeling fine, am anxiously waiting to see you looking the same. I have plenty of money, so don't worry about such trivialities. Buy a New York Times if you leave New York on Sunday. It will be good reading all the way to Baltimore.

    I forgot to tell you I got an apartment of 4 rooms, etc., instead of a house. I thought it would be better for a while anyhow. Hurry along.

    Your loving son, Walter
