Letter in Chinese. From Duk Cheong Co., Canton, China to Wong Sik Cheung, W.J. London Co. 664 King St., Seattle, WA. Written on January 17th (lunar calendar; year unknown). Regarding to a possible immigration of the sender's son. Dear Sik Cheung, It has been a long time, I apologize that I did not keep in touch with you more often. I heard that you are now living in America and your business is making good profits. This is admirable and I feel happy for you. I recieved a letter from Kwong Zeon earlier, he said you might have some application papers. I want to send my 20-year-old son to America, I am wondering if you have suitable paper for him. And I hope that you kindly let me know what is the procedure of application. I will be the most grateful if you could find accommodation for my young son. Wish you well, Your humble Duk Mau January 17th
