              Banff, February 8 1917
              Dear Tom:
              Received your letter for which please accept my thanks. I am well and hope you are the same. Photograph, which you sent to me with your letter, is certainly good. I think it is a slight (слайд) copied of some picture in a book, it is not a real photo.
              I have a Carnival on these days and we are all keept [sic] pretty busy. I go out every night for sport. Tomorrow night there will be a fancy dress dance and I will have to attend it too.

              So you think I am a big man, well, I cannot say that I am not because I am 5' 111/2" and that must be quite tall all right.
              I am preparing to come down on the 16th or so and you will have enough time to explain yourself. I myself wish to see you resome [sic] personal affairs.
              I am very sorry to hear that you are sick, and I hope you get better by the 16th so that we may spend a few days with pleasure. Do not be afraid to spend a little of money on Doctor and have yourself in good

              physical condition. Health is life.
              So I noticed that you have informed every body of my arrival or visit rather. I wish you would meet me with some friends (if possible) at the Depot. However, I will wire you when I am coming down so that you may meet me if you wish.
              Say! What is wrong with Graphina? She did not write me for a long while. I wish you would see her and explain the circumstances to her. Tell her that she need not be so sore at me and if she does, I would not come to see

              her while I am there.
              How is mother and other relatives? Give them my best regards, please.
              Say, you did not say whether it is cold down there. You better tell me, so that I may know what clothing to wear while there. I hope it is better than last year.
              Well, I am sure sleepy. Have not slept more than 50 hours in last 2 weeks.
              I will certainly have something to say when when [sic] I arrive there. So you will answer this as soon as you possibly can.
              Good Bye!
