DLA020-0267  Transcription

The boys are all very well. John, the youngest has just left for an expedition to Spitzbergen, with seventeen others from Oxford and Cambridge.[1] The expedition is supported by the universities themselves, with the Royal Geographical Society, and we are glad to have him go, as it will be a great experience and a little hardship will do them no harm, they are inclined to be spoilt in town, and also at Oxford.

Let me hear from you how you are, dear friend,

We all send you our best wishes,

Dr. Sigmund Münz,

III, Rechte Bahngasse 22,

Vienna.
