I have no news at all from U.S.A. - not a line to show if Father Nicholson arrived or not - and not a word since beginning of May from any friend there.
I hope the Continental Times is still sent to Limburg camp - & also, that some copies of it go to the small group at Zossen. They must be hard up for reading, poor boys.
I am sending this to the General Staff - as I do not remember your father's no. in Kurfurstendamm - I think it is 100 but I am not sure. I don't want to return to Berlin until I know

If he would have it sent to the Auswärtiges Amt to care for Graf Georg von Wedel I could get it there on Wednesday morning When I call & go straight out

Dear Mrs Boehme,
I was very glad to get your letter, card & cuttings y'day. I've not had time to read them yet as I was ... y'day on getting in to Munich. I went to Tannhäuser in the Ey to head Maud Fay - a charming American - as Elizabeth.
I hope you have since got news that your husband's ship left Kirkwall [?] safe & and with him on board. Please let me know when you have any news. He had two or three letters for me.
[second column:]
I sent you "The sickman" & I wrote another fable the other day - also some other more serious things - on Sir S[?] Grey & Viscount Bryce.
When I come back to Berlin I shall surely count out and see you at Liefe[?].
Meantime very kind regards to your Father & Mother -- inlaw - and love to the children.
Yours v. sincerely,
Roger Casement
