My dear brother

Thanks to your efforts the good news has come at last and I am off to Canada in a couple of days or at least to England. It hardly seems possible and it will not seem quite true until I find myself steaming into Victoria harbour.

The first part of the journey, to Calais, is going to be very cold though now we have carriages with windows in them and have some sort of a place where we can lie down.

The trains are still terribly delayed + are pretty uniformly 24 hours late. The numerous strikes in England will make things rather difficult
