Dear Mrs. Pratt,

Many thanks for your very kind letter and check on account.

Well, we still haven't left New York, but if all goes well, should be on the way in a few days. Unless I write in the meantime, I think it would be best to send your next check to Kew Gardens.

Alex has been away for a few days rest. He should be back very shortly, but I didn't want to delay writing to you.

The children are very well. I have a new governess for them, and that's one of the reasons it's taken us longer to get away. I didn't want to take them with us, as it would have been too much for them, and no rest for anybody, and I couldn't leave them until I was absolutely sure that everything was running smoothly at home.

I hope that we'll be seeing you soon.

Peter and Paul send their love, as do I.

Sincerely, Ray Schaffer [signed]
