Cairo July 5 1901

Dear Mrs Leland Stanford

I received your letter from Kissingen June 17th about a week ago, but could not write any sooner, having been suffering severely from Erysipilas [sic - Erysipelas].

I have communicated the content of your letter to my wife. She is willing to let you have her collection for the amount mentioned in your letter, that is to say five thousand Dollars, only you will be obliged to wait until our return from Europe, for we both are so ill that we have to leave Cairo in a few days. We shall be back towards the 10th or 15th October and the objects can be shipped in the first days of November. Only my wife begs you
