Notes

Translation of Item: "Dear Miss,

I will give you ticket No. 928 which represents your ticket for passage* on the SS. “Louise Lykes.”
You will have to present yourself in Antwerp at:
Messieurs Lykes Line
39, Longue Rue Neuve
who will tell you which dock the boat is at. I am putting two packages on board which you will request, if they are not already in your cabin.
Please write to me upon receipt of this letter so that I can be sure that you have received your ticket.
Believe, dear Miss, you have my best regards.

As well as that of your sister Angile"
