Para Brazil, Sep. 19, 1911 Dear brother David, I've had a glorious good time up the Amazon over a 1000 miles to Manaus
on the Rio Negro. Got back to Para am waiting for a steamer to go south to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires across to Valparaiso
etc. Of course the Amazon heat was great but I stood it it well, escaped the prevalent fevers had a grand time among the best
people the vast woods waters etc 05106 A mail steamer goes north tomorrow I am sending this brief note in haste with best
wishes for you all. Ever faithfully your brother John
