Notes
In the letter, "My dear son-in-law; It has been nine days since we left. We have not yet received any notification that you went to Marseille. Surely you have notified us by telegram or at least by letter. We are about to be upset tomorrow or the next day. Semiramis has been waiting for a telegram for a day or two, saying that the trip will not last more than six and finally seven days. If it does not come, I think I will be a little worried." - We received your letter three or four days ago. Although it was written on the ferry, we understood that it was mailed from Izmir because you could read it as […] We all read it that evening with great pleasure. We are waiting for more details about the ferry world. I am more interested in this than anyone else. -Do not forget to send a letter or a postcard at least once every three days. They will be very worried and upset. -Your mother-in-law was very worried when she read in the newspaper the other morning that it was very hot in Paris and that it was not like the conditions you were living in. I must have told you that you are suffering from the sun and your stomach is too tired. Do not drink too much alcohol, that is, wine or beer. - Thank God, we are in a good mood here. Now Güzin was sleeping, I asked her to say hello to her. "We are going around and having fun, but it is not enough to complain about. - We haven't found anything suitable yet. Some successful houses on the Mühürdar side are reporting, but we mostly do not care about that aspect in order not to become a prisoner of the ferry in the winter. Let's see what will happen - Mr. Hayri has been here for three evenings. We will be going to the pier at night. It would be a long time before the address came from Paris and we wrote a letter. Fortunately, Major Reşid Bey was there yesterday to ask for the camera you bought. He came to Sıhhiye and said that one of the students could not go with you because he was ill and that after your arrival in Paris on Saturday, we wrote these letters as soon as possible. [Page 3] Send them quickly so that we can write some papers in the room. I will send it to him, and if it is going to cost a lot, I will have it compensated by Semiramis. That's all for now. I trust my two eyes. From Büyükada Friday 22 July 1327 [4 August 1911], Night time alafranga 10/Do not forget to keep a journal and record your meetings and transactions every day and night since your departure from Istanbul. Your father is Sa'id." written.; -
