Sandakan,

DEAR DON JOSE,
It was very kind of you to have sent me these nice Japanese curtains. I admire them very much and they look very pretty: I have hung them up at the front doors of the house and they make a great effect there. My best thanks for them.
We hope that your friends are satisfied with your reports on Borneo and that before long we may see you back again and many of them with you.[1]
The weather during the last 3 or 4 days seems to be improving so now we venture to hope for some good sunny days to dry the fallen forest and then my husband will burn on the Byte.
With our united kind regards I remain.
Yours sincerely,
ADA PRYER
